The owner of a Massachusetts liquor store is feeling grateful despite an incident over the weekend in which vandals destroyed his business, smashing hundreds of bottles of alcohol just before New Year’s Eve.
“I just want you to see what I’m walking into in my store this morning,” Bill Buco, the owner of McAloon’s Liquors at 531 Chickering Road in North Andover, said in an Instagram post on Sunday. “Someone in their brilliant mind decided to come in last night and trash the store. For what reason? I don’t know.”
The North Andover Police Department confirmed that investigators are looking to track down whoever is responsible for leaving the aisles McAloon’s littered with smashed bottles.

“My liquor, my floor, my shelving. We just did this all over. It was all brand new,” Buco said in the video as he stepped over piles of broken glass and puddles of wine.
It didn’t take Buco long to clean the mess because loyal customers flocked to help him with mops and brooms in hand.
“There’s so much love in this community. My phone’s been ringing off the hook,” Buco said in a follow-up post. “People are coming in with brooms, mops, you name it...As bad as this way, the beauty in what I’m seeing now buries what happens.”
“I just can’t thank you all enough. God bless you all,” Buco added.
Buco has run the liquor store for more than 45 years, his Instagram bio indicates.
Anyone with information on the vandalism is urged to contact North Andover Police Detective Dan Furman at 978-683-3168.
Spanish authorities said on Monday they had seized seven tons of cocaine stashed in sea freight containers buried underneath a farm, arresting three suspected smugglers. Police posted video of the seizure, showing officers digging up ground and retrieving dozens of packages containing the alleged drugs.
The Civil Guard police said they launched the operation on Friday when they detected two suspicious speedboats at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River.
The boats were tracked to a rural estate in the municipality of Coria del Rio, south of the city of Seville, where the suspects stored the drugs in two containers hidden underground.
The Civil Guard, which said it was the largest seizure of cocaine smuggled into southern Spain by speedboat, posted video on social media showing officers unearthing the alleged drugs.
They said they impounded three weapons, including an AK-47 assault rifle, and two stolen vehicles.#OperacionesGC | Incautado el mayor alijo de #cocaína introducido mediante narcolanchas en el sur de España.

Spain is one of the main gateways to Europe for international drug traffickers due to its proximity to Morocco, a top cannabis producer, and close ties with former colonies in Latin America.
Last month, Spanish authorities arrested one of its top police officers after 20 million euros were found hidden in the walls of his house, as part of a probe into the country's largest-ever cocaine bust.
In July, Spain participated in a takedown of a major network transporting Latin American cocaine into Europe by boat, which involved 50 arrests across eight countries. Twenty-six of the detainees were arrested in Spain.
