In other recent police activity, Windsor Locks police responded to a call of hostages being held but it turned out to be a hoax.

On Feb. 17, police received a call from a person who said that a relative had weapons and was going to hurt his family which was being held hostage.

Officers checked residence on Reed Avenue and found no one home.

Another call of the same type occurred in Enfield and it was found to be the same caller who was a paranoid schizophrenic, according to police.

There were no injuries and the calls were false, police said.
