Man Breaks Door at Electronic Store, Storms Out

Needham police are working with Abington officers to identify suspect.

Needham Police were called to You Do It Electronics on Franklin St. last week for a report of vandalism. Officer David Forte arrived on the scene at 7:10 p.m. on June 8 and met by an employee of the store.

The employee told Officer Forte that he was helping a customer who had come in for some electronic parts and had to explain that the store did not have a particular item. At this point, according to police reports, the customer became irate.

"You have now lost a customer," the man reportedly shouted before "storming" out of the store. As he left, the man kicked the automatic door, which came off its track and was no longer closing properly.
