Police: Pembroke man ran craigslist clearinghouse for burglars:
Our favorite joint police task force, the W.E.B. Major Crimes and Drug Task Force, has struck again and this time it’s not for prostitution.
28-year-old Benjamin M. Stone of Pembroke, Mass had his house raided by the W.E.B. Task Force. It turns out that Mr. Stone is an alleged fence who would buy and sell stolen items. He was tripped up when one of his customers tried to sell some equipment he got from Stone on craigslist. The seller than dimed out Stone.
Also arrested were John Sullivan, 30, and John Pennio, 24, for receiving stolen goods.
I wonder what would happen if craigslist users weren’t allowed almost unlimited anonymity? Hmmmm.
