SWAT Team Captures Tewksbury Man After Lowell Robbery

TEWKSBURY, MA — Lowell Police called in the Northeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council SWAT division to capture a Tewksbury man accused of robbing Jerry's Food Store in South Lowell Wednesday night. Police say Conor Cadigan, 23, of Tewksbury, locked himself in a nearby house after fleeing the scene of the robbery. He was charged with armed assault with intent to rob, unlawful possession of a firearm and carrying a firearm without a license.
