GolfBlotter: Couple Allegedly Stole Putters, Other Clubs

Finding the right putter is crucial to your short game, but having about 47 of them to choose from is excessive. A Charlestown couple were arrested in connection with 13 alleged golf course break-ins in the past six months and were suspected by police in Arlington, Cambridge, Belmont, and Lexington for robberies at pro shops in their towns. The Winchester Country Club in Arlington reported 47 putters worth a total $5,000 were missing after a break-in on September 11. The Country Club in Brookline was hit on September 22.

The suspects, a man and a woman, were arraigned at Brookline District Court and charged with breaking and entering, larceny, and possession of burglarious tools. A pretrial hearing is set for October 22. [Boston Globe, Brookline Tab]

All charges alleged until proven under law.
