Thanks for reporting this issue. We have confirmed with the Police Department that unless the individual throws trash into the street, it is not a crime to pick through trash. We would encourage you and all residents to ensure they are not placing sensitive documents out with their recycling. Those should be shredded. If you do notice anything illegal, please do contact the Police Department at 781-284-1212. Thank you.
