A mailman noticed that the garage door was open at a house on Lantern Lane. Officers checked the home and nothing was out of order, then they secured the home.

A mother and son said they have two bad encounters with a woman and her two dogs – a yellow lab and a dark brown puppy. The dogs jumped on them as they rode on the bike path and the mother fell off her bike. The puppy nipped at her hand but did not break the skin. She was not hurt but was upset. After the incident the dog owner became irate and yelled at the mother and son.

A Bedford Farms employee reported that a transformer exploded near the building and caught on fire. The Fire Department went out and NSTAR was called to fix the problem.
