Attempted house break
on Whittemore Street
LEICESTER — At approximately 9:45 a.m.
Monday, Sept. 27, according to police, a white
clean-shaven male, approximately 20 years of
age, operating a green four-door sedan attempted
to break into a home on Whittemore Street in
Leicester.
The resident was home at the time and had all
doors to the home locked. The man, police said,
rang the bell. When the resident did not answer,
as the resident was not expecting anyone, the
suspect attempted to kick in the front door. The
resident yelled they were calling the police, and
the man jumped into the vehicle, which was
backed into the driveway, and fled toward Bond
Street.
A search of the surrounding area by Leicester,
Paxton and State Police failed to locate the vehicle.
“Residents in and around the Whittemore
Street and Marshall Street areas should be particularly
alert, as there have been a number of
house breaks in this area,” said Leicester Police
Chief James Hurley. “Please report all suspicious
activity in your neighborhood immediately
to the Leicester Police Department by calling
911.”
Residents urged not to
leave valuables in cars
LEICESTER — Leicester Police Chief James
Hurley is reminding residents to lock their
vehicles, even when they are parked outside
their home, in the wake of several car break-ins
last week.
“Remove all GPS systems, laptops, iPods, wallets
and other electronic devices from the vehicle
when it is parked,” said Hurley. “The individuals
who are committing these car breaks
are targeting vehicles that have these items
inside. We made a significant number of
arrests of suspects who were committing car
breaks over the past few months thanks to tips
from alert neighbors.”

STURBRIDGE — The 2010 Walk ‘n Wag is an
event that is fun for both dog and human alike.
It’s been labeled “the doggie version of a day at
the carnival.” And what’s best, it all benefits the
homeless pets that Second Chance Animal
Shelter in East Brookfield helps.
The free Walk ‘n Wag will be held from 10:30
a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 3 at Hamilton Rod
and Gun Club, 24 Hamilton Road, Sturbridge.
Registration begins at 10:30, and the walk
begins at 12:15 p.m. A special reunion photograph
for Second Chance adoptees will be taken
at 11:45 a.m.
Animal lovers come to enjoy the canine demonstrations,
educational booths, compete in the
doggie contests, auction/raffles, food, the “doggie
boutique” loaded with lots of great stuff for
both pet and human alike, wonderful vegan
food, a fabulous chicken barbecue (advance
tickets required) — and more food, fun and
entertainment.
You don’t need a pet to enjoy the fun. Enjoy a
wonderful walk on the trails through the
grounds, or sit by the private pond and relax.
Get a chance to chat with other animal lovers
and at the same time raise needed funds for the
shelter.
And most importantly, walk to help homeless
pets. Enjoy a wonderful leisurely walk on the
trail. Your walking will help those that can’t
speak for themselves, a chance to stand up for
those that need us the most — our homeless
pets. You can walk with, or without, a pet. Wellbehaved
dogs are welcome to come enjoy the
day. Get pledges for your walk and you can even
earn prizes. The more you raise, the more
thank you prizes for you, too.
This is the 10th annual event sponsored by
Second Chance Animal Shelter. All proceeds
from the event go directly to help Second
Chance provide a second chance for homeless
pets. Get started right now by going to www.secondchanceanimals.org
and registering — it’s
free. You can even create your own webpage,
add your favorite pictures and raise funds
through your webpage.
