Attention to all Holliston residents: As a reminder, as of March 15, 2020 due to Covid-19 restrictions, all previously issued solicitor permits have been rescinded and no new permits will be issued until further notice per Chief Stone.

Many surrounding communities have the same restrictions in place. However, yesterday the town of Ashland and Holliston had several complaints of solicitors. In Holliston, we received multiple calls complaining of groups of solicitors. We spoke to and identified the solicitors, and all were advised on Covid-19 restrictions, and to immediately cease operation. Within the groups of different solicitors, their managers have also been notified of the same. Solicitors were observed in the areas of Westfield Drive, Foxwood Cove, Willowgate Rise, Dorset Road, Tracy Lynn Road, Pamela Drive, Central Street, and Cold Spring Road. ⁣

Despite this, we expect more calls of solicitors to come. If a solicitor comes to your home, please call us immediately at (‪508) 429-1212.⁣

When calling, please try to provide:

·      Head to Toe description of the person(s)⁣

·      Vehicle, if any. Provide make/model/color, and a license plate if safe to do so

·      Direction of travel - did the person(s) ⁣leave on foot or in a vehicle. Are they heading towards "high or low" street numbers

·      If you have a video doorbell or surveillance, we may ask that you voluntarily send it to our detectives.
