• Alleged lottery ticket thief in Sudbury MA skips court. What's next (metrowestdailynews.com) — Sudbury residents should know that a former Stony Brook Market & Liquor clerk accused of stealing at least $10,000 in lottery scratch tickets from the Hudson Road store has now skipped a Framingham District Court hearing, prompting a warrant for his arrest. Police previously suggested the loss could reach $40,000, and the new warrant means he'll be held without bail if picked up elsewhere.
