This week in Hop, a Worcester man was nabbed for boosting $1,200 worth of loot, while a Milford resident was busted for a boozy joyride. Meanwhile, the town dealt with phantom smells, icy roads, and canine chaos (dogs running amok!). Fraudsters posed as electricians, and potholes claimed another victim’s tire – talk about rolling through the week with surprises around every corner!
