Bedford Police Bust Man with Stolen U-Haul

A Massachusetts man was arrested in Bedford Tuesday night after police say he was pulled over operating a stolen U-Haul van.

Bedford Police say they were first called to Lowe's Home Improvement Store, at 222 South River Road, at approximately 9:47 p.m., to investigate a report of suspicious activities in front of the store.

The subject, 42-year-old Paul A. Daly, Jr., of Weymouth, Mass., was seen leaving the parking lot in a U-Haul van and was pulled over by responding officers as he was exiting onto South River Road.

It was determined, after a brief investigation, that the vehicle had been reported stolen out of Mass.

Daly was arrested and charged with operating after suspension, disobeying an officer and receiving stolen property.

He was processed and transported to the Hillsborough County detention facility. He refused bail services and was arraigned at the Milford District Court on Wednesday morning.
