📰 News we're reading

• Here's what new Raynham public safety building will look like (enterprisenews.com) — Raynham’s long-planned new public safety building is moving forward on Orchard Street, with designs approved and bidding expected in September as police temporarily relocate to the old North School. The project’s cost has risen from about $30.5 million toward $50 million, meaning voters will likely be asked at a future Town Meeting to approve additional funding beyond the 2021 debt exclusion.
   

• NH card shop leads police to Pokémon card fraud suspect (wmur.com) — Raynham police are crediting a Manchester, NH card shop with helping identify a suspect accused of buying over $13,000 in Pokémon cards from a Raynham store using a fraudulent credit card. After Raynham police posted images of the pricey cards on Facebook, staff at Collectible Tags recognized a man allegedly trying a similar purchase and alerted authorities, leading to his arrest on fraud and larceny charges.
