Swampscott Police Seek Man Who Stole Leaf Blower

SWAMPSCOTT, MA — Swampscott police are asking for help identifying a man who swiped a backpack leaf blower that was accidentally left behind at a worksite on Saturday.

Police said surveillance photos show the man picking up the blower and loading it into a dark-colored pickup truck that is possibly a Chevrolet S-10 at about 12:45 p.m.

Police said Barbuzzi Landscaping Company accidentally left the leaf blower behind and would very much like it back.
