Every day, police officers respond to reports of all sorts of events and nonevents, most of which never make the news. Here is a sampling of lesser-known — but no less noteworthy — incidents from police log books (a.k.a. blotters) in our suburbs.
ROGUE TRICK-OR-TREATER
Police in Sharon were on the lookout for a rogue trick-or-treater who stole candy from people on Halloween night. Police turned to social media to ask for the public’s help in identifying the thief, who was caught on a Ring video camera helping himself to a full bowl of candy from one unsuspecting resident. “This individual stole from multiple men, women and children last evening in Sharon,” police wrote in a tweet. Police shared the video that shows the masked trick-or-treater, who was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt, dark pants, and white sneakers, walking up to the front door of a house. He rings the doorbell, knocks on the door, and says, “trick or treat.” A woman opens the door with a bowl of candy in her hands and asks him if he has a bag to carry the candy in. “Oh, no, I just put it in my pockets,” he replies. He then swiftly — and suddenly — rips the bowl of candy out of her hands. The woman shrieks and says, “Oh my God,” as he runs away. Anyone who recognizes the individual in the video, or has information on who it is, is asked to contact the Sharon Police Department at 781-784-1587.
If anyone recognizes this individual, or has information on who this is, please contact S.P.D. 781-784-1587. This individual stole from multiple men, women and children last evening in Sharon. https://t.co/NX6Qvz3Dmw via @FacebookWatch

CURIOUS CASE OF FISHNAPPING

CAUGHT UP IN AN ACTION MOVIE

SIGN STEALING

WRONG WAY
At 7:46 p.m. Oct. 17, Bridgewater police got a call from someone on Prattown Lane who said a vehicle drove across the neighbors’ yards and the occupant(s) were now yelling. Police responded and found out that the driver thought the backyard was an access road to a relative’s backyard.
