Green Truck Stalks Winchester Resident

On Sunday morning, a Winchester resident was out walking her dog when a green pickup truck began to follow her.

The woman first noticed the vehicle in the West Medford cemetery. She continued to walk her dog down Winthrop Street and onto Grove Street, where she saw the vehicle again – this time it was parked along Brook Street.

The vehicle continued to follow the woman until she turned down Canterbury Street and knocked on someone’s door. The truck, with New Hampshire license plates, then drove to the end of Canterbury Street, made a u-turn and left.

The woman contacted Winchester and Medford police regarding the incident.

According to Lt. Peter MacDonnell of the , the Medford Police were able to make contact with the man, who currently resides in Lowell. The man informed the Medford Police that he let one of his friend’s borrow his truck, and that he was not in the area at that time.

The man refused to give police the name of his friend and would not go to the police station, saying that he had done nothing wrong.

MacDonnell said that whoever was in the car was probably doing something they weren’t supposed to be doing. But since the man wasn’t committing an illegal act, the police could not force him to come to the station.

Lt. MacDonnell wanted to make residents in the Medford-Winchester area aware of the situation and the suspicious vehicle.
