HAPPENING NOW: Police in multiple Mass. communities warn public that man has been disabling young women's vehicles and offering them rides home.
"Over the past week there have been local reports of an individual seeking to disable cars being operated by young females. In these situations, the individual may let air from a tire or add a gas tank contaminant, then approach the female to offer help in the form of a battery pack, air compressor or a ride," police in Holliston said."As in all situations, be aware that individuals offering help may have in fact been involved in orchestrating the situation.
"The individual currently being investigated into this matter was spotted in town yesterday afternoon," Franklin Police said."If your vehicle is tampered with or breaks down shortly after starting, give us a call." "Bellingham Police are also investigating an incident involving this individual," that department said in a Facebook post."It is suspected that he tampered with a vehicle in the Charles River Center then approached the female owner when she found her vehicle was disabled."
Bellingham Police warned the public to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity, recommending parking in well-lit areas and not to walk to vehicles alone if possible. Police in Holliston also tagged the Medway Police Department in their Facebook post, but that page had not posted about the investigation as of Saturday afternoon.
