According to the report, a patrol officer observed a suspicious car parked at Elm Street Crossing and found three youths inside smoking marijuana.

The driver reportedly had a scale in his pocket. A search of the car was done, and in the trunk officers found hypodermic needles filled with liquid. The driver reportedly admitted that the needles were filled with steroids.

The youth was charged with possession of narcotics, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance.

A REPORTED ROBBERY outside the Big Y is under police investigation.

The victim, a Big Y employee, reportedly told police an unidentified man approached him with a gun when he was leaving work.

The suspect was described as a man between 18-20, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and a bandana on his face.

The suspect allegedly pointed the gun at the victim and ordered him to hand over his car keys.

At this point, the victim reportedly wrestled the suspect to the ground, pulling the gun away and throwing it against a wall. The victim said the gun broke, and the suspect fled from the scene.

The suspect allegedly reemerged, driving away from the scene, when the victim was stuck at a traffic light on Route 111.

At this time, the suspect allegedly got out of his car and stood in front of the victim's car. The victim claimed the suspect put his hands on the roof of the car, as if to stop the victim from driving off.

The suspect eventually returned to his own car, and the victim reportedly drove off and called police, who were unable to locate the suspect.
