Community Update from Raynham Police
RAYNHAM — Chief James Donovan reports that the Raynham Police Department spoke with a resident today about an incident that happened this morning where he gave a boy an umbrella.
After speaking with the resident, it has been determined that the man only wanted to help the boy because it was raining hard and he gave him the umbrella to use at the bus stop.
The boy told Raynham Middle School officials about the incident when he got to school and school officials notified police.
Due to recent reports in nearby communities about a man in a vehicle approaching children and asking them if they want a ride to school, out of an abundance of caution Raynham Police sought to speak with the driver and the man came forward Friday afternoon.

Raynham Police and Fire Departments Respond After Vehicle Crashes Into Garage
RAYNHAM — Fire Chief James T. Januse and Police Chief James W. Donovan report that a woman suffered minor injuries when she backed her car into a detached garage at a home in Raynham Tuesday morning.
At approximately 9:32 a.m., the police and fire departments received a report of a car crash at 63 Center St.
When rescuers arrived, they found an 85-year-old Raynham woman who was unable to get out of her car because it was wedged into one of the bays of the two-car garage. The garage sits about 30 feet away from the home.
Shelving units were removed in order to help get the woman out of the car safely. She was subsequently transported to Morton Hospital with minor injuries.
The initial investigation indicates that the woman was backing down the driveway and angled the car to avoid a white pickup truck that was parked in front of the garage. The woman then reversed and accelerated through the garage door and became stuck.
The 2004 Mercury Sable sedan and the structure both sustained significant damage.
As a result of the crash, Raynham Police submitted a Request for Immediate Threat License Suspension/Revocation to the Registry of Motor Vehicles.
