The following information came from the Westford Police Department.
Nov. 30, 2:27 p.m. – A woman wanted to report several fraudulent phone calls from a company saying she owed them $574 in payday loans.
She said she had never made any payday loans, but said they have her social security number and she does a lot of online banking and shopping.
The company also had information on her from approximately 11 or 12 years ago when she was in college.
The officer called the company, although the line was very poor. When the officer began to ask questions, the person on the other side hung up.
The officer told the woman not to contact these individuals and provided her additional information regarding telephone scams.
Dec. 6, 11:27 a.m. – An individual reported a suspicious individual on the roof of the Groton Road Lowell Five. That man was identified as a foreman engaged in requested activities.
Dec. 6, 1:30 p.m. – A car crashed into the side of Market Basket at Cornerstone Square. It had damage in the front left side of the car as well as throughout the entire right hand side of the car.
Another car was also damaged on its front left hand side.
According to the report, one of the cars was backing out of a parking spot when it saw the other car backing out of its parking spot. The two cars backed into each other in the middle of the parking aisle, with the driver of the first car immediately then panicking, instinctively putting the car into drive and heading over a traffic medium into a sidewalk and eventually the building.
The driver of the second car said that the first car was waving her out prior to the incident.
A third car that was parked nearby also needed a tow truck for unspecified reasons.
Damage was estimated at $2,000. The driver of the first car was issued a warning citation, although camera footage from nearby businesses did not pick up the incident and heavy traffic made it difficult to put anyone at fault for damages according to the officer’s viewpoint.
Dec. 7, 4:19 p.m. – A woman talked to police after receiving a bill from EZPass related to a set of cancelled license plates from 1996. She had just contacted them, and they said it was a mistake, but she wanted to have the incident on file.
Dec. 10, 3:44 p.m. – Behind a Bridge Street home, there was activity that one woman believed was illegal hunting.
She had located a tree stand used for hunting behind her residence and was concerned due to the amount of kids who play in the woods.
It apparently had been recently erected, but she was unaware who owned it and had not seen any hunters.
The tree stand was approximately 175 feet away from Bridge Street. Under Massachusetts State Law, the tree stand must be at least 150 feet from a roadway and 500 feet from a residence.
Massachusetts Environmental Police later investigated the stand and confirmed that it was recently placed there and it was far enough away to be legally placed.
