Five Businesses Broken In To Overnight

Milford Police found several doors and windows smashed.

 

Last night officers from the Milford Police Department responded to five break-ins across town.

According to Police Lieutenant James Falvey the break-ins occured between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m. this morning.

  • The first break-in occured at Main Street Market, 315 market St., at 4:01 a.m. According to police reports the call came after an alarm was activated at the business. A rock was found inside the market, which police believe was used to smash the glass entry door. The cash drawer of the lottery machine had been pried open and a cash register was missing from the store.
  • At 4:24 a.m., officers responded to a breaking and entering call from BP Gas, 80 Prospect St. A full report is not yet available but police say the front window to the business had been broken.
  • At 4:33 a.m., a caller that lived near West Street Liquors, 61 West St., reported heearing a loud bang in the area. Officers responded and found the cash register nearby at 57 West St.
  • At 6:37 a.m., officers responded to a breaking and entering call from Sunoco at 100 East Main St. Money was reported stolen from the register.
  • The final break-in occured at Carquest, 336 Main St. and was reported at 6:59 a.m. The front window of the business was found smashed.

I agree with Andie, but this is what happens when there are no jobs.

Teena, people who do this stuff don't want jobs.

I hear you, MSM, and I have nothing to base this on, but it just feels like there is more of this type of crime when jobs are scarce. Perhaps the Police could comment.

Milford Police officers chased a suspect from a B&E at Pete's Market and arrested him in Hopkinton after he crashed his step-mothers car. A 20 year old male from Hopkinton was charged with the breaking and entering's into businesses and vehicles in Milford; for B&E into businesses in Framingham, Ashland and Holliston; for B&E into a home in Natick and for stealing a car in Hopkinton.

Thank you, Chief O'Loughlin, for clarifying and providing the info that is known so far. That clears up questions in the minds of many and perhaps some who are so critical, now will be less so. Thank you to the officers who work on these cases-it is not always an easy job!

Thanks, Chief O'Loughlin. It's good to know that there was a satisfactory ending to this story.

Chief, I didn't think the laundry mat robbery or the stabbing mentioned by Amanda was solved, different crime from the other robberies which led to the Hopkinton chase. Either way, police can't be everywhere...look at all the nonsense calls they are tasked with in the police blotter and we should trust that allot of investigations are going on behind the scenes...just curious though, how many detective class officers are part of the MFD? Do we need more? Do we need a "major case squad" based on the growing number of serious crimes in Milford? I'd like to see the police get the help and support they need.
