8:19 a.m. An officer went to the area of Peach Highlands and Lime Street to investigate the report of the theft of a laptop from a vehicle that had been parked on Lime Street across from the baseball field since 6 p.m. the night before. The laptop had been on the front seat of the vehicle, and the vehicle’s owner reported that she could not remember if she had locked the vehicle’s doors. The woman said she believed she had slipped her laptop into her briefcase before exiting the vehicle but learned to her dismay that she had not. She had used the “Find My” app to trace the location of the laptop to the area of Pond Street near Farrell Court before the battery apparently died. She described a distinctive sticker that she had attached to the front of the laptop. The officer and the woman then went to Pond Street to search for the laptop and were allowed into one residence by the homeowner, but the laptop was not found there. The officer advised the woman to continue to monitor her “Find My” app to see if the battery was charged and the laptop was turned back on elsewhere. The officer also advised the woman to call her bank and freeze her accounts because she had told him that all of her passwords were stored on the computer. He also recommended reporting the laptop stolen to Apple Support. The officer then observed as the woman used her phone to lock her computer. He advised her to change her passwords. The woman was told to call police again if she noticed a new ping for her computer and to wait for an officer’s assistance rather than heading to the location on her own. 9:53 a.m. An officer investigated a complaint about a moving vehicle on Tedesco Street. The vehicle could not be located.

the phone with the company’s fraud department because the company apparently did not believe she and her husband are who they say they are. The officer advised her to go to her local bank to see if they could help.
8:49 p.m. An officer was dispatched to Farrell Court after firefighters and EMS workers responding to a medical call reported that a man who seemed to be intoxicated might be attempting to drive away in his vehicle. When the officer arrived, he found the vehicle in question in the parking lot, and the vehicle’s registered owner was sitting in the driver’s seat with the engine turned off. The man then stepped out to speak with the officer as the firefighters and EMS workers had just returned to their trucks. An EMS worker told the officer that he observed the man unsteady on his feet and concluded that he may be intoxicated. In talking with the man, the officer could not smell any alcohol coming from his breath or vehicle, and he was eventually allowed to leave.

The officer went into the unit through an unlocked door and found nobody inside and no evidence of any damage. He was able to lock the window the kids had been using, as well as the door to the apartment.

8:27 a.m. Officers were dispatched to Beacon Street to investigate a report that a commercial vehicle had struck a light pole. When one of the officers arrived, he observed the bottom half of the light pole broken in half. The Marblehead Light Department then arrived on scene and advised the officer they would need to close the road down to make repairs to the pole. The officer also spoke to a witness who reported seeing a large truck with a piece of heavy equipment in the back navigating its way through the narrow road when it struck the pole. The witness had been able to take a picture of the truck and get its license plate. The truck was registered to a Lynn construction company. The dispatcher reported that the driver and a supervisor from the company would be returning to the scene. The officer then spoke to the supervisor and the driver. The driver explained that he was dropping off equipment for a job on Farrell Court. The driver explained that as he was leaving the job site, he took a wrong turn, which brought him into the lower Beacon Street area. The driver said he did feel the vehicle hit something but thought he had just hit the curb or swiped tree branches. The driver said he looked through his mirrors and did not see any damage and continued on his way. After speaking with the driver and the company supervisor, the officer took pictures of the damaged pole and the vehicle. The officer also informed the two workers he would be doing an accident report.
8:46 a.m. An officer spoke in the police station lobby with a couple who had been the victim of identity fraud. Someone had used the husband’s personal information, including his Social Security number, to set up an Intuit Quickbooks account related to their business. The fraudster had then used the account to pass a bad check for $15,000. The couple explained that they were not the ones to open the account and had reported the incident to Intuit. They just needed a police report to document that the man had been the victim of fraud. The officer also gave the man information on reporting identity theft to the FTC and advised him to look over the rest of his credit report to make sure there was no further fraud. The officer also suggested that he place a freeze on his credit.
9:29 a.m. An officer was dispatched to the Board of Health office on Widger Road to investigate a report of a disgruntled citizen. When he arrived on scene, the officer was met in the parking lot by a man who said, “I’m the person you are probably here for.” The man explained that he wanted to file a disturbing-the-peace report against the Marblehead Board of Health. The man said that he had just been in the office speaking with a Health Department employee to complain about trucks and workers coming and going from the transfer station at what he felt were unreasonable hours of the morning. The man told the officer that the employee “pretty much told me to go f— myself.” The man said it was explained to him that the Board of Health was exempt from any noise ordinance regarding the operation of its facilities. The man went on to explain that this morning at approximately 3:45 a.m. he was awakened by the noise of large trucks, specifically their hydraulic systems and back-up alarms. The man said that this noise continued for approximately 20 minutes. He told the officer that this was not the first time this had happened and that the problem had only gotten worse since the new electric gate was installed. The man felt as though his complaint was not taken seriously and that his peace was being disturbed. The officer explained to the man that the officer would document what he had been told. The officer advised the man that the appropriate course of action would be to take his concerns to the Select Board. After speaking with the man, the officer went inside and spoke with the Health Department worker who had called the police. The employee told the officer that, prior to his arrival, the man had come into the office and begun to yell and argue about the trucks at the transfer station. The employee told the officer that he explained to the man that he would need to send an email and that he would address all of his concerns in writing. The employee told the officer that he tried to explain to the man that he was not going to argue with him about the issue in the office, as on a prior occasion he had already explained the reasoning and legal justification verbally to the man, which was why he was now offering to address the complaint in writing over email. The employee explained that the man had not responded well to the suggestion and continued to yell at the employee about his complaints. The employee said that, at one point, the man stuck his foot in the doorway and was refusing to leave. He also stated that the man asked him, “What if I come to your house at 4 a.m. and make noise?” The employee told the man that he needed to leave the office and sit in the hallway, as the office was for employees only. The employee explained to the man that, if he did not leave, the man would need to call the police. The employee said the man responded, “Go ahead, I already called them, too.” The employee then called the police with the man still in his office. After the employee called the police, the man eventually left the building without further incident. The officer told the employee he would document what he had been told and that he had advised the man to take up his concerns with the Select Board.
1:10 p.m. An officer spoke in the police station lobby with a man who earlier in the day had been unable to log into his online bank account. When he called the bank, he was told that an unknown person was trying to cash a $7,000 check as well as obtain access to the man’s ATM card. The man stated that when he was at the bank, he opened a new checking account. Before he departed from the bank, one of the workers informed him that the unknown person was once again on the phone trying to cash the check. The customer then tried to call the person back, but there was no answer. The officer then asked the man if any money had been taken from his account, and he replied no. The man said he just wanted the incident on record.

10:05 a.m. An officer went to Anderson Street to investigate a report of vandalism to a tow truck. Upon arrival, the officer met with a man who showed him that someone had spilled red paint on the bed of his tow truck. Upon looking closer, the officer saw that there was an open small bucket of red paint lying face down on the bed with a large pool of paint, trailed by other small marks towards the end of the
bed. The man suspected that the culprits were middle-school-aged kids who like to hang out near the back of Village Plaza. Inside the tow yard, the back wall is unfenced, and people can jump down from a wall in the back, explained. He said that he had contacted the property management company, which has a camera facing the tow yard. The officer asked him to share any footage with him once the man receives it. The man said that he was not overly concerned about his 20-plus-year-old tow truck but wanted to address the situation before a similar incident happens with a customer’s vehicle instead. He said that he would call the station the next time he sees the group of kids hanging around out back in the hopes that officers might give them a scare.

She said that, from the hours of 5 a.m. to 6:30 a.m., her upstairs neighbors had been making loud banging noises every day. She said that she had been emailing management and has audio recordings of instances in which the occupants of the unit above hers — that include small children and a dog — make loud banging noises that wake her up. The officer advised her to keep contacting management but reminded her that she does live in a complex where she has many neighbors, and loud noise will happen. She understood but she just wanted to report it since she has not gotten any responses from management.

The woman said that she was unsure why anyone would have done this but feared it was due to her patriotic flags that she had up for Memorial Day. The eggs had been thrown at the side of the house facing Atlantic Avenue. The officer checked the neighbors’ homes but did not see any external cameras or doorbell cameras. Other than egg remnants, there was no damage to the home or business. The officer asked if she had been having any issues with upset customers, but she could not think of any, other than a group of women boycotting her business for political reasons.

The officer said he would mention the incident to the officer in charge to ensure that extra attention is paid to the area to deter future vandalism.

The man stated that he was able to get a picture of who he thought was the culprit and pointed out which house he thought they were coming from. The man then showed the officer the photo, which showed what appeared to be a male in his late teens with bushy dark hair, a black sweatshirt and dark shorts. Also in the photo was a less-identifiable person going into the house wearing lighter-colored clothing. The officer relayed the description of the more identifiable person to the other officers, one of whom was with a person who matched the description at the house in question. The officer then left the dock and went to the house and spoke with the bushy-haired teen, who denied having been firing BBs or anything else. The teen said he had heard a noise that he believed to be fireworks and had come out onto his deck to see what it was. This story was backed up by the person with the teen, whose clothing resembled the other person in the caller’s photo. While speaking with the teen, the officer spotted Roman candle-style fireworks on his back deck, though they appeared to be older and not recently fired. When asked about the fireworks, the teen stated that they were from New Year’s Eve. The officer explained to him that all types of incendiary fireworks are illegal in Massachusetts. The officer then returned to the caller to give him an update. The caller was confident that it had not been fireworks that were shot at him. The man said that he had not seen anything in the hands of the two people he had photographed but still believed that BBs had been fired from the area of Neptune Road.
