Three Scituate sisters to serve jail terms for string of house break-ins


Three sisters who lived together on Hatherly Road are now serving jail sentences for a string of house burglaries, credit card frauds and larcenies in Norwell and Scituate over the last two years.

The trio – Nichole Wright, 21, Kelli Wright, 22, and Shawna Wright, 25 – were all sentenced to months-long jail terms on Jan. 3 in Hingham District Court. All three pleaded guilty to an array of police charges, detailed in a foot-tall stack of nearly 20 docket folders.

Kelli and Shawna Wright will each serve nine months in the Plymouth House of Correction, while Nichole will serve six months. Judge Ronald Moynahan, who presided over the trials, also ordered that the three women undergo mental, alcohol and drug evaluations.

All three were convicted of charges stemming from breaking and entering into a house on Grove Street in Norwell in November 2009. Police lifted Shawna Wright’s fingerprints from a storm window at the house, and police said Nichole Wright received stolen property from the burglary – $500 in coins.

Shawna Wright pleaded guilty to breaking into two other houses – on Madison Court and Cranberry Lane in Norwell – one of them while the homeowners attended church on a Sunday morning, also in November 2009.

On at least two occasions, the sisters stole from neighbors. A homeowner who lived across the street from the Wrights’ house at 285 Hatherly Road walked into his kitchen on Nov. 24, 2009, and interrupted Shawna Wright stealing two $100 bills off the counter.

That incident, when the homeowner chased Shawna Wright back to her house, helped police connect the sisters to break-ins in Norwell because they noticed a Nissan Maxima in the driveway, which matched the description of a car witnesses saw at the scene of the Norwell burglaries.

The two younger sisters also stole jewelry, checks and a credit card from their 73-year-old grandmother who lived on Borden Road, behind their house. Scituate police urged the grandmother to buy a safe and store her valuables in it, but she told them there was hardly anything left in her home to abscond with.


“They steal anything that isn’t nailed down,” the grandmother told police, according to the Scituate police report.

Kelli Wright broke into the home of a 75-year-old Scituate woman on Egypt Road in September 2009, stole watches, rings and bracelets and sold the jewelry to Nasr Jewelers at the Hanover Mall. The store manager was suspicious of the goods and alerted Scituate police.

Norwell police tracked down Kelli Wright after a Norwell woman reported a pocketbook stolen from the Friendly’s restaurant in Hanover. Kelli Wright was later caught on a video surveillance camera at Shields General Store, wearing her Friendly’s uniform and using a credit card from the stolen pocketbook to make purchases.

She pleaded guilty last week to conspiracy, identity fraud and 16 counts of credit card fraud.

Nichole Wright was convicted of the same charges and also admitted to possession of heroin, but that charge was continued without a finding.
