In local news:
• A grand jury accused Portland Police Bureau officer Corey Budworth of fourth-degree assault for assaulting photojournalist Terri Jacobs during an August 2020 protest. This is the first time in Portland’s history that an officer is facing criminal charges for using force against a member of the public during a protest. Alex Zielinski has the details.
POLICE officers visited Harwich International Port in a bid to tackle stolen goods leaving the country. Officers from the Rural Engagement Team spent time at the Port as part of a week of action to tackle catalytic converter theft. PC Jed Raven said: “Working with our partners from the Border Force, Stena Line, and also the Port authority, we checked outgoing vehicles for stolen metal, catalytic converters, vehicles and plants, such as tractors, trailers, and caravans. “As we saw, there were engines, cars, and car parts, and we wanted to make sure what was going out of the country was safe for other people to use.”
