Police found and removed limbs and erosion-control straw tubes that were deliberately placed in the middle of Lincoln Road and Ballfield Road on April 21 at 2:30 a.m. The same thing happened four more times on April 30 between 3:34 a.m. and 5 a.m., and another three times on May 4 between 4:40 and 5:30 a.m. In one instance, an officer on patrol realized something was wrong when he saw the car in front of him suddenly swerve into the oncoming lane to avoid the obstacle, Chief of Police Kevin Kennedy said.

“We had an idea who was doing it” after some of the earlier incidents, Kennedy said. Police subsequently had “conversations” with several youths and their parents, to explain that their “juvenile prank” could cause a crash or damage to a vehicle. But on Monday night this week, two of the juveniles were caught placing more objects in the road again. They will be summonsed to Middlesex Juvenile Court for throwing an object onto a public way. Their names and ages were not released by police.

The April 13 story headlined “Shots fired along Route 2; two suspects arrested” gave an incorrect date for the incident. It actually occurred early Sunday morning, April 12. The article has been corrected.

(Editor’s note: This article has been corrected.)

After gunshots rang out along Route 2 near Bedford Road early on Easter morning, Lincoln police responded quickly and arrested two people for firearms violations, drug charges, and resisting arrest.

Three calls came in to police on April 12 just after 2 a.m. reporting the sound of shots being fired. Rockwood Road resident Paula Robinson was just falling asleep when she heard “six shots in quick succession, very loud.” Her brother is a police officer, as was her late father, “so I knew exactly what it sounds like. I knew it wasn’t a shotgun, like someone shooting at a coyote. I got up and checked to make sure all the doors were locked,” she said.

Within two minutes, Lincoln police were in the area, and officers encountered the suspect vehicle in the Lexington Road area of Route 2, Police Chief Kevin Kennedy said. After a motor vehicle stop and investigation, officers arrested Khiry Murray, 29, of Lawrence and Carisa Brown 27, of Marblehead. Police seized two handguns, cocaine in quantities indicating intent to distribute, prescription pills, and nearly $47,000 in cash. Both suspects made bail and are scheduled to appear in Concord Court in May for arraignment, according to the account on the Lincoln Police Department Facebook page.

“They did a phenomenal job,” Robinson said of the quick and efficient police response.

Who fired the gunshots and why are under investigation, Kennedy said, adding that no one was injured.

This is not the first time a disturbing incident has occurred in her area, said Robinson. She now has motion detectors in her yard because drivers in potentially criminal trouble on Route 2 have jumped out of their stopped cars on the highway and fled south through the woods.

In this case, fortunately, the suspects didn’t flee, though they were charged with resisting arrest for “uncooperativeness — let’s leave it at that,” Kennedy said.

It was just one more worrisome element on a morning when high winds were starting to cause other problems. “I have branches coming down on my house, Covid-19, the president… it’s like, “Calgon, take me away!” Robinson joked.
