Overview

  • Marblehead police say two vehicles drove onto Piper Football Field early Wednesday leaving tire marks and damaging the access gate while the turf suffered no significant lasting damage.
  • Officers obtained descriptions of both vehicles during a preliminary probe and believe the two incidents are connected.
  • A tip led officers to Grace Oliver’s Beach around 11:10 a.m. Wednesday where a matching, unoccupied vehicle that had been reported stolen was found submerged and later recovered with help from the town harbormaster and the Salem Police Dive Team.
  • No arrests have been made and police say they intend to seek charges while urging anyone with information to call 781-631-1212 or email Detective Sgt. Sean Brady or School Resource Officer Sean Sweeney Jr.
  • The investigation highlights coordinated local-agency work and comes days after Marblehead High’s graduation, with officials warning the recovery of a stolen car from the water could represent an effort to conceal evidence and affect how the case is prosecuted.
