SHREWSBURY – Two men face charges after they allegedly stole used cooking oil from a Shrewsbury business.

Shrewsbury police have charged Gregorix Jimenez Cruz, 24, of Yonkers, New York, and Jefry Reyes Castillo, 23, of Yonkers, New York, with felony larceny over $1,200, felony breaking and entering a building during daytime and felony vandalizing property.

According to the statement of facts filed in Westborough District Court againstCruz, Shrewsbury police responded to the 300 block of Maple Av- enue at 8:53 a.m. Feb. 16.

Police were told that there was a larceny of used cooking oil in progress. The caller reportedly saw on camera that there were two men in a van breaking into the used oil container.

The caller told police that the men used a tool to pry the lock open, which they damaged and discarded to gain access.

After the caller told officers that the van left, an officer saw the van drive through the intersection of Route 9 and Lake Street.

“I immediately recognized the van from previous reports at the same location,” police wrote in court documents.

Police pulled the van over near the intersection of Route 9 and Madison Place. The officer wrote that the two occupants — Cruz and Castillo — were dressed in black and “covered in cooking oil residue.”

In the van, police allegedly located “large containers” of cooking oil, hoses and other tools.

The pair were arraigned in Westborough District Court on Feb. 16. The judge set bail for Cruz at $2,500 surety bond or $250 cash. Castillo was released on his own recognizance.

They will return to court on April 13.

WESTBOROUGH – On March 1, while local school bus drivers held an information picket outside, representatives from their employer, NRT Transportation, met with the School Committee inside the Forbes Municipal Building.

School Committee Chair Lisa Edinberg acknowledged the picket, which drivers and their supporters have said is over stalled contract negotiations between NRT and Teamsters Local 70. She made it clear that the drivers work for NRT, not for the schools, and Westborough Public Schools (WPS) can play

no part in the negotiations.

“NRT is contracted by WPS to provide bus transportation services. While we are close partners, the drivers work for NRT, not WPS. As such, WPS has no role — and cannot interfere or intervene — in any contract negotiations between NRT and its employees,” said Edinberg in a statement. “Yet we do wish a positive outcome for our drivers.

“This comes at a time when we have concerns about whether the current level of service we are receiving is consistent with the requirements of our own contract with NRT,” said Edinberg. “To be clear, those concerns are not based in any way on the performance of Westborough drivers. The purpose of having NRT in attendance this evening is to address our concerns to NRT and to state our expectation that the level of service meet the level that is set out in our contract.”

‘We never get to know whether we’ve got a bus or not’ Westborough Public Schools is in the third year of a five-year contract with NRT.

The School Committee brought NRT to the meeting to discuss several issues, including a lack of drivers and buses running late.

NRT representatives Peter

Delani and David Lathbury discussed transportation provided to special education students and athletes, and addressed the ongoing driver shortage.

Delani, the vice president of customer relations, presented the service record for transporting Westborough High School’s winter athletes. He said that out of 68 trips chartered, 67 were completed. The one cancellation came from subzero conditions on the morning of Feb. 4, when the bus wouldn’t start.

Superintendent Amber Bock replied that she wanted the service record for fall sports. She said there were instances
