Several Break-Ins, Thieves Target Medical Businesses

Police are asking for the public's help.

On Wednesday, March 13, thieves broke into three businesses at 1 East Main St. The buildig contains a dentist office, a doctor's office and other medical-related businesses, said police.

The suspect, who forced his or her way into the offices, took cash and prescription pads, which police say are "not an uncommon item to be taken." Victims are compiling a complete list of stolen items. 

Soon after these breaks were reported, Northborough police were called to 10 Main St. to New England Acupuncture, which also reported a breaking and entering. The suspect forced entry and pried open cash registers. It is still unclear what is missing from the business at this time, said police.
