Two men rob Cambridge woman at gunpoint

CAMBRIDGE — Two men robbed a woman at gunpoint Tuesday evening as she sat in a parked car outside a Cedar Street market. Police say the same pair may have pistol-whipped another woman in the area about a week earlier. The robbery happened around 6:42 p.m. Nov. 3 near Mercado Latino in the 100 block of Cedar Street, according to the Cambridge Police Department. It was not reported to police until about 7:27 a.m. Wednesday, when the victim’s employer contacted officers. The woman and her husband had parked along the side of the building on Perimore Street, police said in a press release. He went into the store while she stayed in the vehicle. Two men approached the car, opened the door and pointed a handgun at the woman, according to the press release. They took her purse and its contents and ran off in an unknown direction. The couple then left the area. The victims and the employer also told officers that about a week earlier, a woman in the same area was approached by two men matching the same description.

The Warriors (13-4), who have won eight of nine, including their last six, advance to Wednesday’s region final at unbeaten top seed Kent Island (17-0) at 5 p.m. The two-time defending region champion Bucs defeated Queen Anne’s, 25-16, 25-19, 25-12 in Friday’s other semifinal. “It was incredible,” Murray said of Easton rallying from being down 10-0 in the second set. “Whenever Cam (Webb) went on that serving run I was like, ‘Yes, this is the momentum we need to actual shift and change the game.’” North Caroline (11-4), which split with Easton during the regular season, outlasted the Warriors in the opening set,

Talbot council front-runners shift with new mail-in count

EASTON — The race for Talbot County Council continues to take shape as mail-in ballots are counted in the days following Election Day — fives seats are at stake. Though all 12 precincts reported some mail-in results on Election Day, remaining mail-ins and provisional ballots will be canvassed by Nov. 12, yielding official election results. In the meantime, unofficial front-runners forecast a 3-2 Republican majority. The most popular candidate as of Friday afternoon proves to be incumbent Vice President Pete Lesher. Lesher, a Democrat, has received 9,165 votes. Close behind is the council’s incumbent president Chuck Callahan, receiving 8,816 votes in his bid for a fourth term. On Wednesday, unofficial results pointed to a 4-1 Republican majority, with Lesher the sole Democrat.
