Marblehead's latest Police Log

The logs seem to be coming through more regularly these days. The star of this entry is the man on the railroad right-of-way. He was in quite a hurry, it seems.

Tuesday, Dec. 12

• A citizen reported finding a lost credit card at the Marblehead Bank.


• A caller reported a friend of a friend was at a Rowland Street home allegedly stealing snowboards. Some friend! I'd unfriend him or her.


• A Farrell Court resident reported receiving a scam phone call. The victim said the caller pretended to be the woman's niece in jail and requested money for bail. Usually it's a grandson.


• A caller from the Tower School reported there was a man on the Railroad bed with his pants down, "putting snow on himself." According to the caller, he then got into his car nearby, with his pants still down, and drove off. I suppose there was a hot time in the Old Town that night.


• A caller reported the "W" in the Wick Pizza sign is hanging off from the building on Pleasant Street. I suppose the constabulary were going to get a ladder and tack the "W" back up then?


• A caller reported a car driving quickly through the Devereux Street neighborhood. Going to get some snow, I suppose.
