The following information was provided by the Westford Police Department.
May 27, 4:07 a.m. – A resident on North Main Street called to complain about noise coming from a stationary train that had been parked since 7 p.m.
Police were informed that the railroad was having issues with personnel and the issue could not be resolved until 10 a.m.
No further action was taken.
May 27, 4:30 p.m. – An officer was dispatched to the area of Chesapeake Drive and Plain Road after calls of suspicious people knocking on doors asking about paving services.
Upon arrival on Plain Road, the officer spotted individuals with paving equipment, one of which offered the officer his business card.
This paver, working for a company called Reliable Paving Company according to reports, said the owner of the driveway they were paving told a co-worker the owner wanted it, but could not say which co-worker talked to the owner.
The officer then talked to the home owner, who said she did not ask for the work, the co-worker had only offered an estimate and she asked for a contract with further details.
Work on the job was estimated at $1,500.
Then the co-worker was asked if he solicited the owner. The co-worker explained that he did not understand the definition of the word “solicit” and had independently talked to the home owner, seeking to use leftover materials from another job. He was informed of what solicitation was by the officer, who also said that residential solicitation in Westford is illegal without a permit.
The co-owner of the business told police that this was not normal procedure, but he did not want to break a verbal contract made by his employees.
Soon afterward, the pavers left. No further action was taken according to reports.
The pavers agreed not to charge the home owner for work already done.
May 30, 4:56 p.m. – An officer was dispatched to Premier Cleaners at Cornerstone Square after an employee reported that a customer owed $60 and would refuse service to the customer if the amount was not owed, potentially bringing the issue to small claims court.
The officer contacted the customer, who said the issue came from his credit card company, who allegedly overcharged the amount, leading to a processing error.
He said he would give the money to the cleaners.
The employee at Premier Cleaners said he would consider accepting the customer’s business again if he corrected the issue.
