Maps Show Where Crime is Happening in Merrimack

1. Call mapping complete. Merrimack Police each month map reportable accidents, burglaries, thefts from vehicles, accidents, summonses and tickets, criminal mischief/vandalism and bear sightings, so residents of Merrimack can see where crime is happening around town. Mapping for April is complete. Get in the know if and see where Merrimack Police are kept busiest. Visit the Merrimack Police page on the Town website to see the maps.

2. ICYMI. Several people have asked in recent days what the deal has been with the signs at the old Zyla's and the cars there. The lot is being used as a satellite parking location for the construction of the Kingdom Hall on Wire Road. Read more about the construction project that was approved early last year.
