Summary

Hopkinton police dealt with car crashes, snowed-in vehicles, and all sorts of weather headaches. Officers checked out hazardous roads, tracked down the source of gas smells, responded to a sawmill fire, and took calls about property damage—and even some loose animals running around.

The log shows three arrests: two people charged with operating under the influence, and another charged with larceny and conspiracy. On top of that, people called in about suspicious activity, stolen or missing property, and some minor vandalism. Parking complaints, missing vehicles, and found items kept the phones ringing, too. It’s clear folks are staying involved and looking out for each other when it comes to public safety.
