An officer went to change the unit’s batteries Tuesday, Sept. 30, on Appleton Street, and it was missing from a pole near 391 Appleton St.

“The Arlington Police Department takes very seriously the theft of police property,” Arlington Police Chief Frederick Ryan said in a statement. “We will actively pursue leads until this unit is found, and those responsible will be held accountable for their actions.”

The unit was purchased in 2009 with grant funding, police said.
