Just a sample of the types of calls the Arlington Police responded to this week.

ARLINGTON, MA — The following is a sample of the types of calls the Arlington Police received over the weekend. Just because someone reported an incident a certain way doesn't mean that's the way it actually panned out.
Saturday, Dec. 30
Larceny: Someone reported more than $250 stolen from an address on Mass Ave at 3:21 a.m.
And then: Someone else reported that more than $250 was stolen from an address on Gray Street at 9:58 a.m.

Fraud: Someone on Lansdowne Road reported an instance of identity fraud.
Arrest, Warrant: Police went to Chandler Road around 8:30 a.m. in response to a call that indicated a woman there had violated her probation and her GPS bracelet wasn't on properly. When they got there, police said she had been in contact with her parole officer and it was a mix up. Police contacted authorities to make sure they should still arrest her (the original warrant was for two instances of credit card fraud). They got back word that they should arrest her. So they did.
