Police logs (10/9 – 10/12/16): Ringing the wrong doorbell and owner rummaging through own vehicle

The Southborough Police Department encourages residents to report suspicious behaviour. Of course, that means they also respond to many false alarms. Last week those included someone scared by a doorbell, and a homeowner reported for rummaging through his/her own vehicle. (Still, better safe than sorry.)

Read about those incidents and more in the latest logs from the Southborough Police Department.

[Editor’s Note: By law, the police logs omit domestic disturbances, including related arrests. (Which means police can be even busier than they appear to be.)

By blog policy, I strip out the names of any individuals listed as arrested.]
