Employees Allegedly Smoking Marijuana At Cornerstone Square While Break In Occurs Nearby

Oct. 18, 3:21 p.m. – An officer was dispatched to Cornerstone Square for reports of a break in. Upon arrival, the officer found another officer nearby in the plaza who had stopped a vehicle with two men inside.

The other officer asked for consent to search the vehicle due to the reported break in, with the break in investigation officer reporting the scent of marijuana in one of the cars.

According to the report of the officer who stopped the vehicle, the two men were nervous and reported the two men said they returned to smoke marijuana after leaving work at a restaurant in the plaza.

The officer investigating the break in reported the two men were moved to the back of his vehicle temporarily for their safety as well as the safety of the officers due to the break in investigation, but they were released shortly. However, their marijuana was seized.

After this, the investigating officer returned to the scene of the crime, but was unable to ascertain additional information.  Originally, the suspects were described as two males wearing hoodies inside a van. 

Oct. 21, 9:05 a.m. – Two neighbors were the center of a dispute on Graniteville Road involving a dog owned by one of the neighbors.

The dog owner told police he had lived there for 15 years and occasionally at night the dog barks loudly due to wildlife in the area.

Although the dog owner’s neighbor offered to build a kennel for the dog owner, the dog owner declined, with Westford Animal Control also unable to calm the situation.

The neighbor who called the police said he did not want this to impact the outcome of his house being sold in the spring.

Later, the matter was deferred to the Animal Control Department of Westford Police, who said they’d try to resolve the conflict, and that they had not heard from either party on the conflict in over a year.

Oct. 21, 4:40 p.m. – A Littleton Road business manager was concerned after receiving what he believed was an unprofessional phone call from someone named “Michael” who said they needed to pay a bill immediately, or see their electricity shut off.

The business had paid all its bills, but the manager wanted to call police to ensure the incident was documented.
