North Adams Police Investigating Theft of Veteran's ATV
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Police are searching for an all-terrain vehicle stolen from a local World War II veteran.
The theft was reported by the 99-year-old veteran on Friday morning.
The 1987 Suzuki 4-Wheeler, orange in color and with a plow attached, was taken from a residence on lower Furnace Street. The theft occurred sometime in the past two weeks.
