Cocaine Arrest, U-Haul Getaway And Snow Clues: Newton Police Logs

NEWTON, MA — Each week the Newton Police respond to a number of phone calls. Here's a sample of the types of calls they respond to. It should be noted that the incident log is public information the police are required to provide. In addition: Just because someone reports an incident doesn't mean that's the way it happened, and all are presumed innocent until they're proven otherwise in a court of law. Arrests do not imply conviction.
