The concession stand at Plains Park was hit by burglars at the end of last week, the third time it has been burglarized this summer and the fourth similar incident at the park this summer.
For the third time in less than two weeks, burglars struck the Little League concession stand at Plains Park late last week. The break-in was reported at 12:12 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 9, according to Danvers Police Sgt. Robert Bettencourt, a department spokesman. A neighbor heard noises coming from the area of the concession stand and called police, he said. Responding officers saw someone running through the park as they arrived and found the door pried open. Candy was strewn around the area, Bettencourt said. Because the suspect was believed to still be in the area, a police dog from the Essex County Sheriff’s Office was called in and police set up a perimeter. Nobody was caught and detectives continue to investigate, Bettencourt said. …
