Car recovered; phones for troops missing
(By Casey Ramsdell, Globe Correspondent)
A car that was stolen Monday carrying about 500 cellphones to benefit troops overseas was found yesterday in Weymouth, about a quarter mile from where it was last seen, police said.
A window was smashed and the phones were gone, said Weymouth police Sergeant Rick Fuller.
The stolen 1990 Oldsmobile was found at 11:45 a.m. at Old Stone Condominiums, around the corner from the Weymouth Elks Club, where it was taken on Monday between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m., said Fuller
"We weren't sure if it was targeted for the car or the phones, but after finding it a quarter of a mile away, [we can assume] it was for the cellphones," said Fuller.
The car was stolen while its owner, Rick Bruce, was in the Elks Club, where he was decorating the facility for a Veterans Day drive for CarePacks, a group based in South Weymouth that sends care packages to troops.
