FRAMINGHAM, Mass. -- FOX25 Investigates has obtained an internal memo that shows money is missing from an evidence room in Framingham and we've learned a 30-year veteran of the force is under investigation.
The memo, sent out by Framingham Police Chief Ken Ferguson, went to the entire department Monday.
It said in part: "As you may know, the Massachusetts Attorney General's office is investigating the theft of money from the Police Department's Evidence Room."
The officer in question is a 30 year veteran of the department and was in charge of the evidence and detail bureau.
Ferguson also said that some officers had been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury. Sources say the investigation started after police were told to check on him after an argument with his wife. Now those officers are part of the investigation.
A source told FOX25 that upwards of $15,000 is missing.
“At this point in time I can’t confirm and I won’t deny that there is an investigation. You are aware of an internal email that I just had the opportunity to look at earlier today,” said Framingham Town Manager Robert Halpin.
