"The department received reports of at least 19 incidents within the Allston-Brighton neighborhood this year. Detectives said evidence recovered from three key incidents - one on June 30 at 82 Glenville Ave. and two on Aug. 14 at 95 Washington St. and 34 Fidelis Way - led them to identify Doucette-Keating as a suspect. Police allege that Doucette-Keating served as the primary thief, while Shelton organized the operation, supplied tools, and distributed stolen placards."
"Police arrested Doucette-Keating on Aug. 21. at 35 Fidelis Way. She was later arraigned in Brighton District Court on charges of breaking and entering a motor vehicle at nighttime, malicious damage to a motor vehicle, larceny from a motor vehicle, and possession of burglarious tools. On Thursday around 11:10 a.m., authorities executed a search warrant at Shelton's residence at 1662 Commonwealth Ave. and recovered "multiple stolen handicap placards, a window punch, cocaine, and a Glock-style BB gun with the safety tip removed.""
