GRAFTON POLICE ADVISORY

The Grafton Police Department has received several reports of thefts from motor vehicles in the past week. The incidents have occurred mostly in the areas near Brigham Hill Road and also Magill Drive during the late evening and early morning hours.  In all instances, the vehicles were unlocked. The only thing taken was cash and loose change. Personal items of value, (radar detectors, GPS devices, laptop computers, cell phones, keys, purses, wallets, etc.) were in plain view in the vehicles but apparently were not touched. 

These incidents do not appear to be related to recent breaks into motor vehicles at the MBTA station on Pine Street in North Grafton. In these cases, windows were smashed to gain entry into locked vehicles and personal items were taken. The Grafton Police Department continues to work with Transit Police to investigate these incidents.

As a precaution, the Grafton Police Department strongly urges all residents to lock their
vehicles
, including the glove box, and remove any items of value including the car keys. 

Anyone who observes suspicious activity in their neighborhood or who may have information regarding these incidents is asked to call the Grafton Police Department at 508-839-5345. All calls will be kept confidential.
