Billerica Police | MA Posted on by

BPD PatchOn Thursday, 3/14/13, at approximately 10:13 PM BPD Officers were dispatched to the area of 34 Salem Rd for a motor vehicle accident that involved a large (20′) landscape trailer.

Officer Eidens described how he found the trailer in his report, “On top of parked vehicles in the driveway. It appears that the trailer broke free from the towing vehicle, left the roadway, struck some small trees, crashed into the vehicles in the driveway until finally coming to rest on top of those vehicles. In addition, the impact of the trailer had a domino effect on the vehicles pushing one into the next up to three vehicles in. I observed that the trailer hitch from the towing vehicle was still attached (to the trailer)”.  The vehicle that had been towing the trailer had fled the scene.  Officer Eidens identified six vehicles damaged in the accident, three that may be a total loss.

After an investigation, two 18 year old males, one from Billerica and the other from Chelmsford, were identified as bearing responsibility for the accident and will face the following charges in Lowell District court:

  • Leaving the scene of and accident (property damage)
  • Unregistered motor vehicle (trailer)
  • No safety safety chains while towing trailer
  • Attaching a registration plate (trailer)

Possible Scam Affecting Seniors

Billerica Police | MA Posted on by

Billerica – On Tuesday, February 5, 2013, Billerica Police were advised through the Council on Aging (COA) that a potential scam was being perpetrated on local elderly residents participating in the Meals on Wheels program. Meals on Wheels is a non-profit operation run by the Merrimack Valley Nutrition Project that delivers nutritious meals to area residents that cannot always obtain the proper nutrition on their own. Over the past three to four weeks at least two Billerica residents, both elderly, received unsolicited calls for a person representing themselves to be from Meals on Wheels. This person is reportedly informing the resident that they owe monies for their participation in the project. In at least one case the person has requested a credit card number. The Billerica Police have confirmed with the Merrimack Valley Nutrition Project that Meals on Wheels will never call residents requesting money. At this time this is being treated as a potential phone scam and any similar solicitations should be immediately reported to police.
