Community Alert: Let Medway help us avoid what they experienced
"This morning, multiple vehicles were broken into at Orangetheory in the Medway Commons. Windows were smashed, and belongings were stolen.
This type of crime is consistent with known organized groups that travel across states and communities, targeting fitness centers, parks, and similar places. Their MO often includes breaking into vehicles to steal purses, wallets, or bags that are left in plain sight, then quickly using stolen credit cards or cashing stolen checks before victims even realize what happened.

- Last week: Checks stolen from a vehicle in another part of the state were cashed at a Medway bank.
- Over the Weekend: Credit cards were stolen from a gym locker room in Millis and were used shortly after at CVS in Medway.
To help prevent these crimes, always lock your vehicle, avoid leaving valuables in sight, and take personal belongings with you whenever possible. Staying alert in parking areas and reporting suspicious behavior can make a big difference!"
