Read full article: 'My God, we're scared': Serial attacks put a suburb on edgeThe apparently random string of at least 10 attacks in the Boston suburb of Waltham has angered city leaders, frustrated police and frightened residents. The attacks started Nov. 10 at the Gardencrest apartment complex but have spread to the downtown of the city of about 60,000 residents roughly 10 miles west of Boston. āPeople are concerned, and a small group of people are genuinely scared,ā said City Councilor Sean Durkee, whose ward includes Gardencrest. āMy God, we're scared," Amos Frederick, 37, said Wednesday as he walked through the complex. The fact that the suspect has gotten away with so many attacks may be his undoing, Fox said.

Read full article: Over 100 people take over supermarket parking lot for dangerous partiesHOUSTON ā On Halloween night, a large group gathered for a ādonut partyā in a Cypress supermarket parking lot. The store was closed at the time, but left-over skid marks can be found in the parking lot. More than one hundred people were seen racing around the parking lot and setting fires and fireworks. In lockstep with the pandemic, incidents of parking lot parties and street racing have soared this year. The Harris County Sheriffās Office formed a brand new Traffic Crimes Unit to focus on this crime and other related crimes.
