Police believe a series of vehicle break-ins that took place this week in Wilmot are related, but suspect it was probably young people rather than career criminals at work. On August 26, police were called to several break and enters of vehicles. The matter remains under investigation.
A red bike was found in the bushes near Nictaux. The owner is asked to contact the Middleton detachment at 825-2000 to recover the bike.
The Annapolis police responded to 94 calls for assistance during the week of August 23 through August 30. Among these were three false 911s, two false alarms, four traffic accidents, and six domestic assaults. Following are highlights of the week’s calls:
