Tyngsborough Police Charge Man Following Attempted Boat Theft

TYNGSBOROUGH — Chief Richard D. Howe reports that the Tyngsborough Police Department will charge a man after he allegedly attempted to steal two boats on the Merrimack River earlier today.

A BURLINGTON MAN, AGE 45, will be issued a summons on the following charges:

  • Malicious Destruction of Property over $1,200
  • Arrestee Furnishing False ID to Law Enforcement
  • Larceny over $1,200

At 12:33 p.m., Tyngsborough Police were dispatched to shore of the Merrimack River near 141 Middlesex Road after a bystander observed a nude man behaving suspiciously in the area of docked boats.

Upon arrival, officers located the suspect fully nude and attempting to untie a boat from its moorings. A second boat had already been untied when officers arrived. When officers approached him, he jumped into the river and swam to a distance where officers could not reach him.

Out of concern for his safety, officers requested the assistance of the Tyngsborough Fire Department, which responded to the scene and deployed a boat into the river and subsequently retrieved him downstream. Once he returned to shore, the man was transported to Lowell General Hospital for observation.

“I’m glad that our officers were able to intervene before this suspect was able to successfully leave the scene with a stolen boat,” Chief Howe said. “I’m also grateful that nobody was injured as a result of this incident, and for the professional and quick response of the Tyngsborough Fire Department in safely rescuing him from the water.”

Upon further investigation, officers determined that the suspect caused damage to the interior of one of the boats and also allegedly provided a false name to officers.

These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty.

Greater Lowell Tech Welcomes Class of 2023 During Accepted Students Night

TYNGSBOROUGH — To welcome the class of 2023, Greater Lowell Tech recently held an accepted students night.

On May 22, Greater Lowell Tech welcomed several hundred students from Dracut, Dunstable, Lowell and Tyngsborough to get a firsthand look as to what the next four years of their lives will look like at the school.

“Our accepted students night is a great opportunity for the incoming class to learn more about the place where they’ll be spending the majority of their time over the next four years,” Superintendent Joseph Mastrocola said. “We’re excited to welcome this diverse group of students, who come from different towns with different interests, but with one common goal: a desire to obtain a unique set of skills that will prepare them for future education and job opportunities.”

Upon arriving, students and their parents/guardians gathered in the cafeteria, where administrators and students presented on Greater Lowell Tech’s wide range of career technical education programs and challenging academic courses.

Families were then free to walk around to visit the school store and learn more about athletics, extracurricular activities and other services available to students.

Elias Hall, of Lowell, chose to come to Greater Lowell Tech because of the real-life work experience he’ll obtain. He’s hoping to enter either the Automotive Technology or Automotive Collision and Repair programs while also making a name for himself on the football team.

Kathleen Machado, of Lowell, is excited about starting at Greater Lowell Tech and hopes to enter the Health Assisting program given her desire to help others. For her, she’s open to finding out more about all the school has to offer.

“There are a lot of opportunities here and I thought it would be very interesting to try it out and explore everything,” Machado said of her decision to attend Greater Lowell Tech.

Nichollas Frusco, of Lowell, also hopes to enter the Medical Assisting program to start working toward his goal of becoming a doctor.

“I wanted to come here because I heard the medical assisting field is good and it helps a lot of people,” he said. “I just want to help other people.”

Brendan Clawson, of Tynsgborough, came to Greater Lowell Tech with the hope to expand his coding and web design skills. He is excited about the number of career technical and academic options the school offers.

“I feel like this is a better use of your time, your fours years in high school,” he explained. “You’ll do way more in this school than you would in other schools.”
