Suspect in Massachusetts cases used either a dumbbell or sledgehammer to gain entry in two of those burglaries.
Investigators are probing the connection between a jewelry store break-in last November in Danvers and several other break-ins across the North Shore and New Hampshire seacoast. Portsmouth police in New Hampshire said Thursday they are working closely with several Massachusetts police departments after they learned a burglar who robbed a Deer Street jewelry store there twice in two weeks may be linked to eight other cases in the Bay State. WMUR-TV reported on Thursday that Portsmouth Police are actively looking at several jewelry store burglaries that have occurred in that state this month to determine if it is the same suspect. The break-in in Danvers dates back to Nov. 29 at Carter's Diamonds and Fine Jewelry on Route 114, said Danvers …

Paul Tierney, 34, of Wilmington faces 12 charges, including his third charge of operating under the influence of liquor and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. It began at 1:27 p.m. in Danvers on I-95 southbound near the Ferncroft rotary. A trooper spotted a red Kia Sorrento and went to stop it.

In addition to a road closure and detour, mineral oil also had to be cleaned up along Route 114 after several utility poles snapped this past week.
When strong winds ripped down more than a half dozen utility poles along Route 114 on Thursday, it also created a small oil spill. The utility poles bent and snapped just before 10 a.m. causing the road to be closed and detouring thousands of cars through a side street and through a Danvers neighborhood. The poles were repaired and the road reopened for the Friday morning commute. When the poles came down, one of the poles had a transformer on it and it smashed on the road, releasing about 45 gallons of non-PCB mineral oil, or MODF - Mineral Oil Dielectric Fluid. It is a petroleum product. The state Department of Environmental Protection was notified and in turn ordered that a cleanup be conducted, according to Joe Ferson, a spokesman for…

The closure and detour of a section of Route 114 at the Danvers-Peabody line has come to an end in time for the morning commute on Friday.
A stretch of Route 114 that was closed for most of the day on Thursday is open for the morning commute on Friday. A one-third mile stretch of road at the Danvers-Peabody line was closed just before 10 a.m. on Thursday when strong winds tore down several utility poles, sending wires, poles and transformers to the street. Utility crews and emergency workers had the road closed into Thursday evening but it reopened overnight on Thursday and repairs were completed. Peabody police sent out a Nixle alert at 5:54 a.m. saying that the road was open again.

Workers will continue to make repairs to utility poles along Route 114 on Thursday evening that will cause the road to remain closed and drivers will be detoured.
Drivers will continue to be detoured around a section of Route 114 at the Danvers-Peabody line into the rush hour as work continues to repair several utility poles that came down in a wind storm on Thursday morning. The good news? Almost all of the electric customers that were without power earlier in the day have their power back. But workers continue to “set” the damaged poles, as of 4 p.m. That means about a one-third mile stretch of road is blocked to through traffic and is being detoured. “We’ve haven’t set all the poles yet,” said Randi Holland at Peabody Municipal Light Plant. Workers from other utilities were called in to help expedite the restoration of power and make the repairs. The remaining customers without power – 23 – were…

Crews from both Danvers and Peabody were on scene along Route 114 on Thursday after several utility poles came crashing down to the road in gusty winds.
It remained unclear at midday Thursday how long Route 114 would remain closed at the Danvers-Peabody line. A squall line of rain and wind swept through the area just before 10 a.m. on Thursday, ripping down utility poles and wires right at the line between the two communities near the Outback Steakhouse. The wires and poles down in the road forced its closure. There were three utility poles on the road and another five that were bent or leaning at about noon. Route 114 remained closed between Walter Road in Peabody and Palmer Avenue in Danvers. Police at the scene said there were no cars or property that was otherwise damaged by the poles. Brian Howcroft, an engineer at the Peabody Municipal Light Plant said it was too early to say when …

A SUV driven by a Boxford teenager crashed into an utility pole on Route 114 on Tuesday evening, sending wires down and cutting electricity for a time.
The electric wires that came down on Route 114 on Tuesday night were due to a sport utility vehicle that crashed into an utility pole, according to Peabody police. The crash occurred at about 6:15 p.m. in front of Maddy’s Car Wash, just east of the Danvers town line. Traffic backed up into Danvers during the evening commute. One utility pole in front of the car wash snapped off at the top, dropping utility wires down to just a few feet off the road. The next pole to the west, near Outback Steakhouse, also bent down toward the road. The crash happened when a Ford Escape, driven by Amanda Monteforte, 18, of Boxford, was heading east on Route 114 at the Danvers-Peabody line, said Peabody Police Sgt. Robert Waugh.
