: A man suspected of multiple car breaks was arrested with the help of a Medford firefighter who spottiMng him trying to break into his car parked at the High Street fire station.  Police K-9s followed a trail of blood allegedly left by Joseph Ross, 43, before an officer working a detail at Kappy's liquors spotted him perusing the shelves about 10:30 Saturday night. He faces 15 charges alleging he broke into eight vehicles and stole a state highway department service van to drive to the liquor store.
