The following information came from the Westford Police Department. Anyone arrested is considered innocent unless proven guilty by a court of law.
July 26, 5:00 p.m. – A woman asked for police assistance in regard to entering a home on South Chelmsford Road.
This woman wanted to enter the home and help clean it, although another family member had control of the property and legal power of attorney for their mother.
Police told the woman she would need to obtain permission from the family member, which is what the woman wanted to confirm. She said she would ask for further assistance later if needed.
Aug. 1, 10:15 p.m. – After receiving a noise complaint, two officers discovered a white car from New Hampshire in the parking lot of the Miller School.
The vehicle was parked under a sign saying “for school business only” and one of the officers placed a citation notice on the vehicle’s windshield for $25.
Then the officers left the area and returned two hours later to find the car with four occupants. When asked if they had been up at Merrill’s Quarry nearby, they indicated that they were just leaving. They also said they not see any “no trespassing” signs, although the signs had been posted throughout the property.
All four men were then charged with trespassing.
Aug. 4, 8:43 p.m. – While on patrol near the corner of Cornerstone Square and Littleton Road, an officer observed a truck with an expired vehicle inspection sticker.
The officer on patrol began to follow the vehicle and a query of the vehicle’s license plate number indicated that the vehicle was last inspected on July 19, 2014 and the owner of the car lived in Lowell.
At this point, the officer stopped the vehicle, which was near the Enterprise Bank on Littleton Road.
The operator of the vehicle indicated that he was from Ecuador and provided a passport, indicating that he lived in Lowell. However, he could not provide a driver’s license from any state within the United States.
He then told the officer that he had been living in the United States for ten years and was a self-employed contractor doing vinyl siding work in Littleton.
The officer told the man that he noticed the inspection sticker and also noticed he was not wearing a seat belt.
At this point, the officer issued a citation and a summons to appear in court for the man and the vehicle was towed.
Aug. 5, 5:11 p.m. – While stopped at the corner of Littleton and Concord roads near the Ninety Nine Restaurant, a man flagged the officer and requested he come into the restaurant’s parking lot.
This man said he was just involved in a motor vehicle accident at the corner of Littleton and Powers roads, getting rear ended by another vehicle.
He was driving a large Isuzu van heading west and felt a jolt, pulling into a nearby parking lot as he saw a black BMW SUV continue toward Littleton.
Littleton Police were advised and the officer then looked at the back of the van, which now had a dent two inches wide and half an inch deep, visible from approximately 20 feet away.
No debris was found at the site of the crash, but the BMW’s license number belonged to a man from Lowell.
Lowell Police were informed and asked to find the BMW driver.
Approximately five hours later, the BMW driver contacted the Westford Police Department after being contacted by Lowell Police, indicating that she was not in Westford.
Scratches were visible on the front of the vehicle, but they did not appear to be fresh and additional investigation indicated that it was unlikely to have been involved in an accident earlier in the day.
She also said that her front license plate had been stolen.
No further action was indicated.
