NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The MCLA Campus Police and the North Adams Police Departments are investigating a series of larcenies from vehicles.
 
The MCLA Campus Police Department released a Crime and Safety Alert on their Facebook page Thursday indicating that earlier this week a number of unlocked vehicles parked on campus had items stolen from them.
 
The release stated that the incidents were reported to have taken place early morning Wednesday and Thursday. 
 
Vehicles were parked on Davenport, Bond and Corinth Streets. Items were also taken from an additional four vehicles parked in the Townhouse Lots.
 
The Campus Police asked that anyone with information please call the North Adams Police Department at 413-664-4945 or the Campus Police from any campus phone by dialing extension 5100. They can also be reached at 413-662-5100.
 
The alert concluded by urging students and residents to lock their vehicles and hid valuable items from view. Although the larcenies are specific to vehicles, the Campus Police also urged students to lock doors and ground-level windows.

Q&A with State Representative Challenger Andrew Fitch

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — On Sept. 1, voters in the First Berkshire District will decide whether they want to send a new representative to Beacon Hill in Boston.
 
Andrew Fitch, currently a city councilor in the district's largest municipality — and the commonwealth's smallest city — is challenging former North Adams Mayor John Barrett III, who won the First Berkshire seat in a 2017 special election, in the Democratic Party primary.
 
There is no Republican on the primary ballot for the First Berkshire seat so the primary will effectively be the election for the seat. 
 
The two candidates met for their only debate on Aug. 13 at Williams College. iBerkshires.com reached out to both candidates to follow up on some of the points raised in the debate and get their thoughts on some other issues facing the district.
 
Below are excerpts from a conversation with challenger Andrew Fitch:
 
Question: From the very beginning, you talked about the campaign as a listening experience, and this week you're continuing that with the bike tour …
 
Andrew Fitch: Knocking on doors that have never been knocked on before. … I was riding through, I believe it was Hinsdale coming into Windsor, and they started to yell at me, 'No!' And then the guy was like, 'Wait a second. That's Andrew Fitch.' They actually knew who I was, and they were actually wanting to chat with me.
