A family member doing yard work discovered a break-in and the theft of an automobile from the home of his deceased uncle.

A man called Tewksbury Police at 2:33 Monday afternoon (July 16) to report the alleged theft. He said that his uncle, who had lived in a home on Andover Street, had passed away about a year earlier.

Tewksbury Police filed a report and put the car into the system as a stolen vehicle.
