Here's a prime example of why people simply can't have nice things.

In the early hours of Thursday, September 12th, a troubling theft unfolded at President Avenue Plaza. Around 5:00 AM, a local woman (her name is anonymous to protect her privacy), who had attended a 45-minute workout session at Burn Bootcamp, returned to her vehicle to discover that all four tires had been stolen from her new Honda CRV. Keep in mind that she was only gone for no more than an hour, just to return to find her vehicle was left propped up on cinder blocks.

She immediately filed a report with the Fall River Police Department on the incident, urging residents to be extra cautious and mindful of vehicle security. This theft occurred in a short window of time, emphasizing how quickly such crimes can happen.

Safety Tips for Vehicle Owners:

  • Choose Well-Lit Areas: When parking, select locations that are well-lit and visible to deter thieves.
  • Use Anti-Theft Devices: Investing in wheel locks or other anti-theft measures can help protect your vehicle.
  • Report Suspicious Behavior: If you observe any suspicious activity around parked vehicles, contact the Fall River Police Department immediately.

By staying vigilant and taking preventive measures, residents can help safeguard their vehicles from similar incidents. If anyone has any information that can help lead the Fall River Police to a suspect, please reach out to them immediately.

It's Illegal to Spark a Bonfire in These 22 Massachusetts Communities

There's nothing better than lighting up a nice bonfire on a warm summer night. But depending on where you live in Massachusetts, it actually could be illegal to do just that. Naturally, there are exceptions to every rule, and bonfires being used for outdoor cooking are allowed, but exceptions aside, 22 cities and towns across the Bay State have prohibited open burning year-round because they're just too densely-built and populated for burning to be considered safe. Is your community on the list?
