🎃 Main Street Trick or Treat Tomorrow! 👻

Get those costumes and candy buckets ready! Main Street Trick or Treat is happening tomorrow, Tuesday, October 27, from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM!

We expect plenty of little ghosts, goblins, and superheroes making their way through downtown Westborough.

With all the excitement, we want to remind drivers to use extra caution when traveling through the center of town. Expect a large number of trick or treaters along West Main Street, from Church Street to the rotary, and throughout the surrounding streets.

Please slow down, stay alert, and keep an eye out for little ones who may be more focused on their next piece of candy than looking both ways!

We hope everyone has a fun and safe evening. Enjoy the treats, watch out for the tricks, and help us keep our little trick or treaters safe!

A message to our Westborough Residents, regarding gun licensing and ownership:

You have until OCTOBER 28, 2026, to comply with serialization and registration requirements.
Under Chapter 135 of the Acts of 2024, the “Act Modernizing Fi***rm Laws,” Massachusetts significantly expanded fi***rm registration requirements. The Act took effect October 2, 2024.
Brief summary of the registration requirements
All fi***rms possessed, manufactured, or assembled in Massachusetts must be registered through the state's electronic fi***rms registration system (https://gunportal.mass.gov/mircsUnifiedPortal/)
Massachusetts moved from primarily recording fi***rm transactions through licensing/dealer systems to a requirement that the fi***rm itself be registered in a statewide electronic system, with additional reporting requirements when fi***rms are transferred, lost, or stolen.
Registration generally must occur at the time of import, purchase, acquisition, manufacture, or assembly.
There are specific exceptions to the normal timing:
New Massachusetts residents: 60 days to register fi***rms they bring into the Commonwealth.
Heirs/devisees: 60 days after acquiring a fi***rm through an estate.
Licensed dealers, gunsmiths, distributors, and manufacturers: 7 days after importing a fi***rm.
Privately made fi***rms: 7 days after manufacture or assembly.
Fi***rm transactions—including sales, purchases, rentals, leases, loans, and other transfers—generally must be reported by all parties within 7 days.
Lost or stolen fi***rms must be reported electronically within 7 days, including identifying information such as the make, model, serial number, caliber, and whether it is a large-capacity fi***rm.
The law also establishes serialization requirements, including requirements for privately made fi***rms.
Failure to register a fi***rm or report a transaction, loss, or theft can result in escalating penalties, including fines and potential imprisonment for repeat offenses, and can be grounds for suspension or revocation of a fi***rm license, card, or permit.
For more information, visit mass.gov/fi***rms-services See less

The Fi***rms Records Bureau is the Commonwealth's repository for all fi***rms license and transaction data, issues non-resident fi***rms licenses and resident alien permits, and provides guidance to local licensing officers.

The Westborough Police Department wants to inform our community of an alarming and potentially dangerous new trend. Young people are participating in a new TikTok trend called “ The Door Kick Challenge.”

Participants call it an “advanced” level of the original Ding D**g Ditch Game. Participants will come up to the doors of residential homes and forcibly kick the doors, nearly breaking them in.

It goes without saying that this is extremely dangerous to everyone involved, including the victim homeowners.

We have several reports over the past few days that certainly point to this trend being carried out in our community. We will be working diligently to identify the participants and execute any appropriate criminal charges. Please call us with any suspicious activity you may observe.
