State Police Seek Taunton Thief
TAUNTON — Massachusetts State Police are asking for the public's help to identify a man who stole over $100 and two credit cards from a vehicle at a state park in Taunton.
State police said between 11:30 a.m. and noon on Jan. 27, a man broke into a vehicle parked at Taunton's Massasoit State Park.
When the vehicle's owner returned, she found the driver's door lock had been damaged and two credit cards and $105 in cash were missing from her purse, which she had placed in the trunk.
