Weymouth Police Search For Man Who Entered Home Swinging a Hammer

Police are searching for a young white male in his 20s or 30s who they believe forced his way into a South Weymouth home using a hammer and stole cash. 

On the morning of August 9, police said the suspect forced his way into the home, on Roberts Drive after he claimed he was a delivery driver.  The suspect allegedly waved a hammer at the homeowner Roberts Drive in South Weymouth and directed the victim to the basement where he located money that was hidden in the ceiling.

“We believe that the suspect targeted this specific home and that it was not a random act,” Capt. Rick Fuller said in a statement.

The suspect was described as a 6- foot tall clean shaven white male, weighing 170 pounds with short dirty blonde hair.  He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans and was not dressed as a delivery driver. Police believe he is between the age of 25-35 years-old.

Anyone with information should contact Det. Bob Sullivan at the Weymouth Police Department.
