New details: Wanted man captured after chase in Yarmouth
YARMOUTH - On Monday at 2:27 p.m., Robert M. Silva, a convicted felon wanted on 7 warrants from the Waltham and Barnstable District Courts, was spotted by Deputy Police Chief Steven G. Xiarhos getting in to a white mini-van on South Shore Drive in South Yarmouth. Silva drove off in the van and was followed by Deputy Chief Xiarhos westbound on South Shore Drive.
On nearby McKenzie Road, Xiarhos activated his cruiser blue lights and siren but Silva refused to stop and drove away at a moderate rate of speed westbound on South Shore Drive. Xiarhos radioed the Yarmouth Police Dispatch Center for assistance as the suspect drove through the quiet neighborhoods streets. Yarmouth Police Dispatchers Paul Leidenfrost and Stephen Peterson coordinated the police response and Xiarhos was subsequently assisted by fellow Yarmouth Police Patrol Officers Melissa Alden, Michael Wells, Mark Noone, and Patrol Sergeant Francis Hennessey as well as Yarmouth Department of Natural Resources Police Officer Edward Tierney. Pedestrian and motor vehicle traffic volume was very light and Silva continued to refuse to stop and drove off north on Run Pond Road, east on Willow Street, north on River Street, and Pleasant Street and east over the Bass River Bridge in to Dennis.
Silva was eventually captured 4.5 miles later as he traveled down a dead end gravel driveway on Fisk Street in West Dennis and could drive no further. Yarmouth Police Patrol Officers Alden and Wells ordered him out of the white 1997 Chrysler mini-van, which was stolen from the garage of an unoccupied home on Shore Side Drive, and took him in to custody after he refused to comply with verbal commands and the Officers were able to overcome his resistance.
With the assistance of members of the Dennis Police Department the stolen vehicle was secured and the suspect was transported to Yarmouth Police Headquarters where he being held without bail on the original 7 outstanding warrants as well as a slew of new motor vehicle charges and new charges of burglary and larceny of a motor vehicle and will be arraigned in the Barnstable district Court on Tuesday.

Sandwich PD/FD holding open house
SANDWICH - The Town of Sandwich is proposing a new 56,000 square foot joint public safety facility to be located on municipal land at the corner of Quaker Meetinghouse Road and Cotuit Road, as well as a new 8,500 square foot fire and rescue sub-station to be located near the junction of Route 6A and Quaker Meetinghouse Road. The new facility would house the Police, Fire and EMS services. These new facilities will improve the service delivery of both the Police and Fire Departments through better coordination and operations from a centralized facility which will help improve response times.
On September 27th between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., and on October 20th between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon, the Sandwich Police Department and the Sandwich Fire Department will offer an open house for the community.
The open house is intended to provide the community with a better understanding of the current Fire Department Headquarters which was built in 1955 for a call department and the Police Department which was built in 1971 for 9 employees.
“We look forward to educating the public about the deficiencies in our current facilities and our proposed solutions that will improve the delivery of public safety services in Town,” said Chief of Police Peter Wack.
