The Weymouth Police Department said rumors of attempted abductions in Weymouth are not true.
On their Facebook Page, Weymouth Police issued the following statement:
There has been a growing concern about several recent suspicious incidents in the Town of Weymouth. Postings on social media sites are erroneously stating that there have been “attempted abductions” in recent weeks in Weymouth. Each of these suspicious incidents was thoroughly investigated and determined not to be an attempted abduction. The safety of our children is our first priority and we take all suspicious incidents very seriously. In the event that we have a serious incident such as an attempted abduction we will use all of our resources including reverse 911 calls, social media, and the press to alert the public.
