No one was able to see the license plate number, but surveillance camera footage shows the family left in a newer model green Toyota Camry.

At 5:09 p.m., officers responded to the area of Washington and Elm streets for a report of shoplifting from Legacy Place. Police located three males matching the description of the suspects. Each party had a backpack and police found clothing items in the backpacks with tags from Gap, H&M and Urban Outfitters. A fourth party, a female, was also located by police. The managers of the stores elected not to press charges as they did not witness the shoplifting.

At 8:46 p.m., Dedham Police went to Toys R Us on Providence Highway to investigate reported credit card fraud. According to police reports, a 20-something light skinned black or Hispanic man attempted to purchase a video game console and game using a credit card.
