Stolen Drain Grates

Warrant sought for the arrest of Joshua Minot of Woonsocket, Rhode Island for the theft of several storm drain grates in the west end area of Wrentham. An investigation was conducted by Sgt. James Barrett and Officer Barry R. McGrath on January 24, 2012 in which a confession was obtained by Minot’s accomplice implicating both in the theft and sale of the storm drains to Allied Recycling in Walpole, Mass.

There have been more than 15 storm grates stolen in little more than a month in Wrentham.  The person charged in this investigation may not account for all of the thefts.  The Wrentham Police are asking that residents remain vigilant in reporting any suspicious activity in their neighborhoods and report it to the Wrentham Police at 508-384-2121.
