3). Daniela’s Cantina Restaurant (103 Nagog Park Drive)
According to Acton Police Detective Sergeant, Raymond Grey, all four Acton break-ins appear to be connected.
“They’re all connected – it’s apparently an organized group,” said Grey. “They’ve hit Leominster, Nashua, Chelmsford and Concord – and in all these cases they have basically gained access through the vent system on the roofs. In one case they were able to take the safe right out of the business and in another case they were able to cut the safe right open.”
If anyone has any information regarding these break-ins, contact the Detective Division at 978.264.9640 (Raymond Grey – Detective Sergeant).
