WORCESTER — On Friday, Sept. 11, 2026, at approximately 11:00 a.m., members of the Worcester Police Department’s Neighborhood Response Team executed a search warrant at A&C Market, located at 6A Boylston Street, following a lengthy investigation into community complaints about double parking and public drinking.
