Police in Framingham are trying to figure out who keeps leaving chunks of meat on the town common, and why.
People who live near the common have been finding butcher-quality cuts of meat under a tree there for about five weeks.
In the most recent incident, the fifth one overall, a resident discovered a large piece of raw, unwrapped meat, along with what appeared to be a liver and some bones on Tuesday.
Henry Field, who lives across the street from the tree, told WBZ he's found 4 of the 5 pieces. "It was a large chunk of meat, two to three inches thick. A delicious looking steak."
He's already stopped his dog Dorje from eating it, but he's worried someone might be trying to poison animals in the neighborhood.
Framingham's public health director Ethan Mascoop told WBZ the meat does not appear to be tainted and, at this point, there is no reason to be concerned.
But, police are counting on the public for help in solving the meat mystery.
"I've heard of people dropping off mystery messages and all kinds of weird stuff, but I've never heard of dropping off meat," said Framingham State student Julie Reed.
