Gloucester Police/Fire: Break, vandalism reported at O'Maley School

Officers received a call from a custodian at O'Maley Middle School on Tuesday at 8:38 a.m., saying that vandals had thrown eggs around the commons area, and a set of bleachers had been tipped over.

The alarms in the school, according to the police report, were disabled at the time because of work being done in the building, and none of the workers saw anything out of ordinary.

The incidents occurred overnight, after the night custodian had left the building, according to the police report.

Police responding to a reportedly loud house party 46 Veterans Way at 11:13 p.m. Monday knocked on the door several times, then noticed several young people run out of the back door.

Police spoke to the tenant, who was intoxicated, according to police report, and asked the woman to turn the music and television down. Officers said they would report the incident to the Gloucester Housing Authority; the woman told police said she was being evicted anyway.

At 5:38 a.m. Tuesday, police found a car with its driver's window smashed at the corner of Elwell and Sadler streets. Officers spoke with neighbors who didn't recognize the car, and police couldn't find its owner.

A woman told police at the station that her daughter hadn't come home after her curfew as of Tuesday at 1:48 a.m. An officer found the daughter soon after, and brought her back to her mother. No further information was available as of late Tuesday afternoon.

A Smith Street resident said someone had stolen his $750 iPad from 14 Prospect St.

He told an officer at the station at 9:06 a.m. Tuesday that he believed he knew who took it, because the store he bought it from could trace the iPad through GPS.

Police are investigating.
