Missing Northbridge girl could be with 23-year-old man in RI, police say
A 16-year-old girl from Northbridge, Massachusetts, who went missing earlier this month could be with a 23-year-old man in Rhode Island, according to authorities.
Aubrey Pollinger left her home on Feb. 6 with no cell phone or credit card or debt card, Northbridge police said.
Pollinger is believed to be with the 23-year-old man in the Woonsocket area, according to police, who said she was in a relationship with him.
The 16-year-old was last seen wearing a white sweatshirt and black Nike sweatpants, police said. She has a nose ring and septum piercing.
Pollinger was described as 5 feet 3 inches tall with brown hair and blue eyes.
Anyone with information about the Pollinger’s whereabouts should call the Northbridge Police Department at 508-234-6211.
Don’t call 911 to see if it works amid AT&T outage, Mass. State Police say
Amid the nationwide cellphone outage affecting AT&T’s network on Thursday, people have “flooded” 911 centers in Massachusetts with calls, looking to see if those calls will work.
“Please do not do this,” state police said on social media, adding that anyone who can place a phone call will be able to call 911 as well.
The agency also urged people who need to call 911 but can’t to use a landline, if they have access to one.
Some people have been reporting that their phones are in “SOS mode” during the outage.
“At my house, my phone was working, and then I stepped outside and all of a sudden got the SOS message,” AT&T customer Emma Smart said, calling the issue frustrating.
It forced her to rush to the AT&T Store on Boylston Street in Boston before it even opened — on her birthday — to find out what was going on.
“I just hope it gets sorted out soon enough, cause,” she said. “I want to call my mom and stuff.”
There have been no requests for help from the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, a representative told NBC10 Boston, though it was “aware of and actively monitoring reports of service outages impacting some commercial cellular carriers” and in tough with its partners.
AT&T has said it is “working urgently to restore service.” It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the outage.
