NATICK — A man told police that he may have lost a handgun that he had left on the roof of his car just after midnight Thursday near the Lilja Elementary School on Bacon Street, police said.
Police, with the assistance of their own police dog and a Massachusetts State Police dog trained to search for firearms, searched throughout the night and early morning but could not locate it, police said.
According to police, officers were stationed around the school for its start on Thursday as a precaution.
The person who lost the gun reported the incident at 12:26 a.m.
“The firearm was not lost on school grounds but the vehicle took a route that led past the school,” police spokeswoman Lt. Cara Rossi said. “Obviously, this led to concern for the kids' safety. Natick Public Schools also alerted parents.”
If anyone locates the gun, they should not touch it and call police at 508-647-9514.
