On November 29th at about 2:52 AM, Worcester Police officers were dispatched to a Gibbs St address for a report of a break in progress. Upon arrival, officers saw a woman yelling out the window saying “He’s trying to get inside!” Officers located a male, identified as thirty-two-year old Oniz Janniere of Fitchburg. Officers detained Mr. Janniere while they gathered more information.

Officers determined that Mr. Janniere had been trying to enter the residence of a stranger. A resident opened the door and saw him trying to enter, and she pushed him back with a broom stick and told him to leave. She locked the door but he continued trying to enter. Officers located two double-edged knives on Mr. Janniere and placed him under arrest. He is charged with Attempt to Commit a Crime (Armed Burglary), two counts of Carrying a Dangerous Weapon, Disorderly Conduct and Disturbing the Peace.
