On April 3, police were dispatched to CVS on Centre Street for shoplifting that had just occurred.

The total value came to $148.41. Police sought a complaint against the male, 56, out of Dorchester, for larceny under $250.

On April 6, police responded to the Depot Coffee Shop on Chestnut Street for a past B&E. Police saw the front door glass to be shattered. Police saw that the middle desk drawer was on the floor with all the contents scattered in front of the desk. At approximately 4:16 a.m., the owner’s alarm system alerted him via his cell phone that an alarm had been triggered at his place of business. The video footage showed a light-skinned male approximately 5’11” to 6’01”, wearing a dark colored hoodie, jeans, and white sneakers, walk into the business with two crowbars. The unidentified male was seen taking a Mountain Dew soda from the cooler and disappears out of the camera’s sight and walks into the kitchen. He returns with a tray of danishes and takes the black tray from the register on his way out.
