Marblehead Police Log, March 23rd, 2012
Apr. 3rd, 2012 06:48 pmAs I'm about to embark for Marblehead tomorrow, I thought I'd take a look at what was going on crimewise in the Old Town. Here are some of the choicer items.
12:42 a.m. Chandler Hovey Park emptied and gate secured.
5:50 a.m. Caller reported suspicious truck that is often seen in the early morning hours in lot of the medical building on Widger Road and is sometimes joined by another vehicle. Officer spoke to person in the truck, who said he or she was waiting for the building to open. Officer described the person as “uncooperative” during his investigation.
10:47 a.m. Assisted Powder House Court resident who might have left door unlocked and radio on upon leaving for a few days. Officer ensured that the radio was off and that the door was secure.
11:57 a.m. Caller reported skateboarder hanging onto the back of a green vehicle driving in the area of Ocean Avenue and Nanepashemet Street. Skateboarder could not be located.
12:23 p.m. Conducted well-being check on Franklin Street after residents were found not to be home for meal delivery. Residents were located up the street at a funeral. Council on Aging notified.
1:01 p.m. Chief requested officer try to locate principal of painting business whose trailer was parked on Front Street with cones around it. Upon arrival, owner was at the scene and said he would move the trailer.
2:34 p.m. Investigated report of accident involving bus and Jeep in front of lower Bell School. Caller reported that no kids were involved but that the drivers appeared to need some assistance exchanging information.
2:37 p.m. Provided escort for person needing to retrieve property on Story Terrace.
3:37 p.m. Kids loitering reported on second floor of Village Plaza.
3:45 p.m. Caller reported issue with tailor, who had put a stop-payment on a check issued as compensation after tailor had reportedly lost pants from caller’s suit.
4:05 p.m. Caller reported suspicious man pacing back and forth while talking on a phone on Ocean Avenue. Man worked down on the docks and had just been conducting a normal phone call.
6:11 p.m. Anonymous caller reported that there was a “completely naked” woman and man taking pictures of her on Ocean Avenue. Officer spoke to a group of clothed people but could not find the alleged naked person.Words fail me, my Lords.
6:48 p.m. Two suspicious men were reported near parked cars on West Street. Officer found the men and spoke to them; they checked out OK.
6:55 p.m. Walk-in reported having lost family heirloom diamond ring. He believed it fell off his finger in the area of Atlantic Avenue and Phillips Street.
7:11 p.m. Walked through house with homeowner after alarm on Churchill Road. All was found to be in order.
7:22 p.m. Caller on Green Street reported between three and five black women running up and down the street and yelling and making noise, causing dogs to bark. Officer spoke to two women who were just being a little loud and sent them on their way. All was well.
9:52 p.m. Caller reported group of kids in parking lot being loud on Lime Street. One took off upon caller’s arrival. They were leaving as officers arrived.
10:16 p.m. Lift assistance provided on Tufts Street.
10:23 p.m. Investigated report of underage party on Arnold Terrace. Kids were observed running in every direction upon officers’ arrival. Log notes, “They must have a scanner, or they were notified by someone listening.”
So all is well in the Old Town. I shall keep my eyes peeled for naked people being photographed, underage parties gathered around a police scanner, or old people attending funerals. All will be well.
