On July 29, just before 8:30 a.m., Southborough Police were called to Sperry's Liquors to investigate a break-in that happened overnight.

Police told WFXT surveillance footage showed two masked people in the store around 4:20 a.m. The people were crawling with dark bags to avoid being captured on security cameras.

Police said large amounts of cigarettes and liquor were taken.

Similar incidents have happened in Millbury, Northborough, and Dracut. Southborough Police are working with agencies in those towns and said it's "highly likely" it is the same group of people.
