Boston Blotter: Rusty Cars Galore

091407_rust_never_sleeps.jpg--Police found where cars go to die. Or at least stolen cars, anyway. Police discovered cars sleeping with the fishes in the Merrimack River. Police have found 15 cars in the river near Dracut. Some of the cars are from the 70s.

--The BPD encountered some old-school white-collar crime lately. Police took in Michael Luckett at Eastern Bank on Franklin Street for putting up a website offering high-yield CDs through a "transnational fund." The crime happened when people mailed him the money. He took the cash and stashed it in bank accounts in Boston.

--A food-delivery guy got attacked last night in West Roxbury. Three men jumped him during the delivery and took everything - the guy's money, the food, the car keys, and his car.

--A car thief speeding away from police with his buddies turned into the wrong driveway on September 2. The thieves thought that the driveway belonging to Tufts president Lawrence Bacow might be a good place to park and flee. Police did manage to catch one of the perps. The Tufts blotter stresses that Tufts students weren't involved.

All charges alleged until proven under law.
