1. Tewksbury Police Provide Pedestrian, Crosswalk Safety Update (patch.com) — Tewksbury residents can expect to see more police officers monitoring crosswalks and busy pedestrian areas as the Tewksbury Police Department ramps up enforcement and education around pedestrian safety. Drivers are warned to slow down, yield at marked crosswalks, and avoid distractions, while pedestrians are urged to use crosswalks, stay alert, and ensure they are visible before crossing.
   

2. Tewksbury joins dozens of Massachusetts communities ending Flock (wcvb.com) — Tewksbury police are shutting down their Flock automated license plate cameras after residents raised strong privacy concerns and officials cited a lack of community support. Chief Ryan Columbus says the system did help solve serious crimes, but the department will pause its use until state lawmakers or courts set clearer rules for this kind of surveillance technology.
   

3. Man charged with vehicle break-ins in Tewksbury (newportdispatch.com) — Tewksbury police have charged a 23-year-old Malden man with more than 30 offenses tied to two April vehicle break-ins on Main Street and Apache Way, where wallets, cash, and cards were stolen.

4. High school roundup/scores: St. Mary's passes tough test against North Reading (bostonherald.com) — Tewksbury boys soccer nearly grabbed a Merrimack Valley Conference win before Central Catholic equalized on a last-minute free kick to force a 2–2 draw.

5. Holdout juror attorney asks for 'demon' mother's execution (knewz.com) — A high-profile Massachusetts murder trial involving Lindsay Clancy now directly touches Tewksbury, as she is being held and treated at state-run Tewksbury Hospital rather than in prison.
