This is an excerpt from the Marblehead Police Log from Thursday, July 8 to Friday, July 9 at 7 a.m.
- At 1:48 p.m. Thursday, the Water and Sewer Department told police an employee was cutting bolts on pipes on Sevinor Road and ended up setting a small patch of grass on fire. They extinguished the fire and said it's hardly noticeable.
- At 4:20 p.m. Thursday, a motorcycle accident on Elm Street sent one person to the hospital with minor injuries. The motorcycle hit a telephone pole. Police said the motorcycle is likely totaled.
- At 8:13 p.m. Thursday, a Farrell Court woman called police to say she believes someone is entering her house when she is not there. She said it's "creepy." The woman told police that she always slams the door shut so it can't be left open. The woman requested a plain clothes officer with a badge to watch her house and catch whoever is doing it. She also stated that weird things are happening with her phone and she thinks it's people retaliating or it may be ghosts in the house. Police checked the woman's house and phone.
- At 8:23 p.m. Thursday, a woman called police and said she was stuck in Fort Sewall. The woman stated that she drove to the end of the street and realized that she had gone too far. She came back down the hill and someone had shut the gate and put a padlock on it. Police contacted Park and Recreation who said they don't close the gate. The harbormaster told police the neighbors have a key and they should be contacted.
- At 10:47 Thursday, a man told police a Hispanic male with short hair, hat and a dark top "is in the shadows" and is going from car to car, checking doors. The man was last seen heading down the path between 10 to 25 Mechanic toward Mugford Street.
