Not Rock Solid: Crook Tries to Break Into Store With Boulder

NORWOOD, MA — If it was Festivus, this guy might have some problems with the feats of strengths.

Norwood police are now seeking the public's help with identifying a man who tied to break into a store with a boulder, but struggled to gain entry into the building. On Feb. 10 at about 3 a.m., police responded to an alarm at Pam's Market on Pleasant Street. When officers arrived, it was apparent someone tried to break in, but a search of the area was unsuccessful, police said.

In surveillance footage of the incident, the suspect attempts to throw a 10-pound rock at the door, but needs four attempts to get the boulder though the door. After breaking a hole in the glass door, the suspect continued his attempt to gain entry before being scared off by a vehicle at the residence behind him, police said.

If you know who this person is or have any relevant information, you can contact the Norwood Police Department at 781-440-5100 or their anonymous line at 781-550-5181.
