18-year-old charged after dozens of cars vandalized in Massachusetts
An 18-year-old was arrested Wednesday in connection with dozens of vehicles being damaged over the weekend in Quincy, Massachusetts. More than 60 vehicles were found damaged in the North Quincy section of the city on Saturday. According to neighbors and home surveillance video, the suspect was seen scratching the vehicles with a rock. The vandalism happened on Commander Shea Boulevard, Quincy Shore Drive, Hancock Street, Newbury Street and Oakridge Road. The suspect was identified by police and later arrested on Wednesday, July 30. His identity has not been released. The suspect was arraigned on Thursday and held on bail. He faces 63 counts of defacing or damaging property. WBZ-TV spoke to a woman on Saturday who came back from vacation only to learn her car had been damaged. "It's frustrating, considering the fact that you come back from vacation, you're expecting to relax and now you have to go and file a police report and let your insurance know and try to figure out how to remedy the damage to the car that you don't want rusting come New England winters," said Angela Taylor, who lives in North Quincy. Another neighbor, Vicky Zhang, shared surveillance video with WBZ-TV that showed the suspect dressed all in black, walking up and down her street. Taylor also said this wasn't the first time her car had been vandalized. "I think it's increasingly frustrating because it happened around Christmas as well, my car was keyed up then too," said Taylor.

More than 30 cars vandalized in Massachusetts as police search for suspect seen on video
More than 30 vehicles were vandalized in Quincy, Massachusetts over the weekend, leaving dozens of residents facing costly damage. Angela Taylor, a North Quincy resident, was returning from vacation when she learned her car had been among those targeted. "It's frustrating, considering the fact that you come back from vacation, you're expecting to relax and now you have to go and file a police report and let your insurance know and try to figure out how to remedy the damage to the car that you don't want rusting come New England winters," said Taylor. Taylor lives in a condominium complex that she said is in a safe neighborhood in North Quincy. "I think if you have a nice vehicle especially, then you're going to be far more concerned now parking your car out," she said. "And we live in a condo that's supposed to be safe and North Quincy's supposed to be safe." According to neighbors and home surveillance video, the suspect was seen walking up and down Oakridge scratching cars with a rock. The act has left residents shaken. "We want the policemen to find him right away and do something," said Vicky Zhang. Zhang said that at least seven or eight cars on her street were scratched up by the suspect. She shared Ring video with WBZ-TV that shows the suspect, dressed in all black, walking up and down the block. Taylor said this isn't the first time vandalism has occurred in the neighborhood. "30 [cars] is a lot and considering this is not the first time this has happened in the area either, I think it's increasingly frustrating because it happened around Christmas as well, my car was keyed up then too," said Taylor. The Quincy Police Department is asking anyone with information or surveillance video to contact them as the investigation continues.

Sandwich shop bounces back after devastating fire and Covid pandemic
A BRADFORD district sandwich shop which was hit by a devastating fire before the Covid pandemic struck has bounced back - and is now in the final of a Telegraph & Argus contest. Readers were asked to share their favourite businesses for the T&A's Best Sandwich Bar 2025 competition, with the nominations then whittled down to 10. Today it is time to shine a spotlight on one of the finalists - Hungry Monkey on Leeds Road, Shipley, which first opened 17 years ago. Owner Angela Taylor said she was "thrilled" her shop had made it into the final - especially after enduring a number of major challenges in recent years. She said: "The shop had a devastating fire in March 2019, which closed us down for six months. "We fought to reopen, which we did in September 2019 - only to be closed down again almost a year to the day of the fire by Covid. "Like many businesses, Covid hit us hard and overnight all my business delivery customers had gone due to many people working from home - a lot of these still do and the custom base never came back. "So it was like we had to start from scratch for a second time. "But almost six years from the date of the fire, we have been honoured with the news of making into the top 10 of the T&A's Best Sandwich Bar 2025 contest. "I am absolutely thrilled and totally shocked by the news. "I had no idea about it so the news came as a complete surprise." Angela - who used to work in the personal care sector before embarking on a career change to open Hungry Monkey - thanked all her customers for their ongoing support over the years. She added: "We have a fantastic relationship with our customers, many of whom have used us from the beginning. "I've seen customers come in with children, some whom have now got children of their own. "It really does feel like an extended family. "The messages and offers of support I received from my customers following the fire was truly inspiring." Don't miss out on your chance to shout up for your favourite sandwich shop. All you need to do is fill out the voting form, which can be found in the T&A newspaper until March 29.
