Odd Case Is Marked Closed
City police closed an unusual case involving a stolen white tractor found abandoned on a Frederick street in October. The tractor, valued around 2500 dollars and owned by Vincent Santanino Jr. of New Haven, Conn., was recovered after a owner representative identified it, ending police inquiries that linked the tractor to a Baltimore shrimp heist. A Santanino tractor-trailer had reportedly come to Baltimore weeks earlier to haul shrimp to New Haven. The case tied to a broader note on multi birth frequency with maternal age.
