Reading Police Looking to Identify Larceny Suspect

READING — Chief Mark Segalla and the Reading Police Department are looking for the public’s assistance in identifying a man who is believed to be connected to a motor vehicle larceny last night.

At approximately 5:45 p.m. on July 12, Reading Police received a report from a woman that she had witnessed a man suspiciously leaning against a black Audi in the shopping plaza at 1 General Way. The vehicle was parked in the vicinity of Gold’s Gym.

The woman then noticed that the passenger’s side window of the vehicle had been smashed, and that as the man walked away from the vehicle, heading east toward Market Basket, he was discarding items along the tree line. She then was able to take several photos of the man with her phone.

The owner of the vehicle reported to police that her pocketbook, which was on the floor of the passenger’s side seat, was missing. Police later recovered several items from the area that matched what was in the woman’s purse.

Reading Police believe the man may be connected to the larceny and are asking for the public’s help identifying him. He is described as a white male, approximately 6 feet tall and was last seen wearing a black t-shirt, tan shorts, black socks and black sneakers.

“If anyone recognizes this individual, or was in the area at the time of the larceny, we ask that they please immediately call Reading Police,” Chief Segalla said. 

Those with information can call the Reading Police Department at 781-944-1212 and ask to speak to the officer in charge. All tips can remain anonymous.

Melrose Police Remind Residents To Secure Vehicles Following Motor Vehicle Break-ins

MELROSE — Chief Michael L. Lyle and the Melrose Police Department are reminding residents to secure their vehicles and belongings following a recent uptick in motor vehicle break-ins.

Overnight on Monday, Nov. 27, a number of vehicles were entered through unlocked doors and rifled through. The break-ins occurred on Charles, Oakland, West Emerson and Winthrop streets, along with Lake Avenue.

In order to prevent motor vehicle break-ins and theft, Melrose Police are strongly urging residents to always lock their vehicles, even if it’s in the driveway, and to never leave belongings, especially those of value, in the car or in plain view.

“Don’t make it easy for criminals,” Chief Lyle said. “Lock your doors and don’t leave your belongings in plain sight in your vehicle. If you have something of value, take it with you, put it in your trunk or bring it in your house. Let’s all have a safe and happy holiday season.”

If community members see anything out of the ordinary, or find that any of their belongings have been stolen from their vehicle, they are encouraged to call the Melrose Police Department at 781-665-1212.

Groveland Police Respond to Motor Vehicle Crash Involving Bicyclist

GROVELAND — Chief Jeffrey Gillen reports that the Groveland Police Department responded to a motor vehicle crash involving a bicyclist last night.

On Monday, July 10, just after 6 p.m., Groveland Police received a report of a crash in the area of Elm Park.

Following a preliminary investigation, officers learned that a 32-year-old female from Rowley, who was driving a 2008 Honda Accord, was turning left onto Elm Park in front of Your Place & Ours Pizza & Subs. At the same time, a 42-year-old Haverhill man on a bicycle was traveling northbound on Elm Park at just under 20 mph and did not notice the stopped car in the process of turning.

The cyclist collided with the vehicle’s right side, causing him to roll over the roof of the car and land on the other side. He was transported via ambulance to an area hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life threatening.

A Groveland Police investigation determined that, given the area where the crash occurred and the traffic at the time of day, the congestion on the road made it difficult for either person to see the other. The driver was not cited.
