District Attorney Hosts Household Document Shreddig Event In Norwood

NORWOOD, MA - Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey is hosting a free household document shredding event on June 16 at the Norwood Senior Center at 275 Prospect St. from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“One obvious way to deter identity theft is to destroy your sensitive documents rather than putting them at the curb for collection, where any passerby could take them,” Morrissey said. “We invite anyone interested in safely disposing of old household financial and personal documents to join us between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on June 16.”

There were nearly 1.4 million reports of identity theft received by the Federal Trade Commission last year, totaling almost $6 billion in losses.

“This is a simple step to help Norwood-area residents avoid being part of those statistics," Morrissey said.
