GEORGETOWN — Chief Donald C. Cudmore is pleased to report that an elderly woman who was disoriented and had become lost on Saturday, was safely located, uninjured, after a two hour search.

Yesterday at 4:37 p.m. the Georgetown Police Department responded to a report of a missing elderly female on Nelson Street in the area of Camp Denison. The officers, along with members of the Georgetown Fire Department, conducted an extensive search of the nearby wooded area adjacent to Baldpate Pond.

Due to the dropping temperatures and impending darkness the Massachusetts State Police K-9 Unit and N.E.M.L.E.C. (North Eastern Law Enforcement Council) were contacted for assistance.

At 6:27 p.m. the elderly female was located in the wooded area off Nelson Street and was transported to the Merrimack Valley Hospital by the Georgetown Fire Department for evaluation.

“I want to thank the duty officers working today and the massive response by N.E.M.L.E.C., the Massachusetts State Police Air Wing Unit and the Boxford Police Department. I want to especially thank Georgetown Police Department Detective Matt Carapellucci who commanded the incident, Officer Dean Julien, and Communications Dispatcher Lisa Dustin for their outstanding performance during a very chaotic situation. These officers and the dispatcher utilized every technology available to them as well as additional assets in order to locate someone in need,” said Georgetown Police Department Chief Donald C. Cudmore.

Whitman Police Seeking Home Invasion Suspects

WHITMAN — Chief Scott D. Benton reports that the Whitman Police Department is searching for a group of suspects who allegedly broke into a Whitman home and beat a resident with baseball bats.

Police responded to an Auburn Street residence at approximately 3:30 p.m. today for a report of an armed home invasion. Upon arrival, police found that a resident of the home had suffered injuries that are considered serious, but not believed to be life-threatening, after a group off approximately six to eight men entered the home and attacked him.

The resident was taken by ambulance to a local hospital. The man’s mother was also home at the time of the attack, and was not injured. 

Police believe this was not a random act of violence and that the victim and suspects are known to each other.

The suspects are believed to have fled the scene after the attack, and are described as black or Hispanic males in their early 20s.

Police are currently searching for the suspects, who are believed to have been driving a grey Dodge minivan with no front license plate and a grey Infiniti G35 coupe with black wheels. 

This incident is currently under investigation by the Whitman Police Department. Anyone who may have information about this incident or has seen these vehicles is asked to call the Whitman Police Department at 781-447-1212.

Police Conduct Scheduled K-9 Search at King Philip Middle School Today

NORFOLK — Superintendent Paul Zinni, Principal/Assistant Superintendent Susan Gilson and Norfolk Police Chief Charles H. Stone Jr. report that a scheduled police K-9 search of King Philip Regional Middle School was conducted Friday morning.

The search was conducted by Norfolk Police at approximately 9:30 a.m. and lasted about 30 minutes. K-9 searches are done at the school at least once each school year.

A notice has been sent out to parents that the search was conducted.

As a result of the search, there were no positive alerts by the K-9 and no illegal or potentially harmful contraband was found.

“Student safety is one of our top priorities and searches like today’s are a routine part of keeping the middle school safe and secure,” Chief Stone said.

As part of the standard operating procedure of the search, the school was briefly sheltered in place. Once the search was completed, the shelter in place order was lifted. The school day then continued on a regular schedule.

“I was pleased to see that the search yielded similar results to the one that was done at the high school back in November, where no contraband or illegal items were found,” Superintendent Zinni said. “We are thankful to Chief Stone and the Norfolk Police for helping to keep our middle school safe and we value our partnership with the department.”

Parents or residents who have questions or concerns can call the King Philip Regional School District administration office at 508-520-7991 or the Norfolk Police Department at 508-528-3206.

“Even though nothing was found in the search, a day like today is the perfect time for parents to talk to their children about drugs, alcohol and tobacco,” Principal Gilson said.

It should be noted that about an hour after the search concluded, the school briefly sheltered in place again to allow for an ambulance and paramedics to come to the school for an unrelated medical emergency.
