OCTOBER 5Loud music again on Quaker Meeting House Road. The homeowner agreed to shut it down for the night. Officers initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle and confirmed it had a revoked registration.

A caller reported a medical emergency in Dartmouth. The call was transferred. Officers were dispatched to a home for reports of a tenant disrupting a real estate open house. Officers advised all it was a civil matter. OCTOBER 6An individual from Timber Way came into the station to discuss ongoing issues with dirt bikes. More patrols will be added to the area. That was quick. A call was received for children on quads and dirt bikes riding on the road. Officers spoke to all involved parties. A local man was educated on the definition of “annoying phone calls” and advised to stop making them. OCTOBER 7A wellness check was performed on an individual at the request of an ex. That subject was fine and provided further context to the situation. Officers investigated a report of a man peering in the window of a home. Officers found no sign of anyone being on the property and grass and plantings under the window were undisturbed.And file under: You should know better. A bus driver reported that a woman pulled into a driveway, gave her the finger, and yelled profanities at her. When questioned, the woman said she didn’t realize the driver was new. She thought she was engaging with the previous driver who had cursed at her in front of the children. Which for the record, still doesn’t make that behavior okay. A caller reported hearing suspicious noises through the night and in the morning found a small hole in a basement window. Officers advised the woman to call in the event of future incidents. In the meantime she will be installing cameras. An Osterville man was advised that following and spitting on or toward a vehicle is not the proper way to handle a driving disagreement. We thought that went without saying but apparently not. OCTOBER 8A couple reported an IPad and purse had been stolen from their home overnight. Officers responded and the couple insisted they left the items in the same place each evening. Officers located the IPad on a table in the home and short while later the couple found the wallet.

That individual was taken to the hospital.OCTOBER 9A caller reported their neighbor’s dog had been outside for several hours and would not stop barking. All was quiet when officers checked the area.

Officers spoke to the parents and advised the child needed to stay off the property. Tis the season for spooky happenings. Or not. Three friends renting a home for a few days came back to the house to find the door open and lights on despite being sure they had locked up and shut off lights prior to leaving. Nothing was missing. Officers checked the home and found no sign of entry. OCTOBER 10We know who let the dogs out just after midnight? We know. Officers responded to a residence for a report of a barking dog. Officers made contact with the pet owner who admitted that he had forgotten the pooch was outside.A call was received that contractors were parked on both sides of the street.
