Break-In Reported at the Stratton School

ARLINGTON, MA — Arlington police are currently investigating a break-in that occurred sometime over the weekend at the Stratton School, according to Arlington Police Capt. Richard Flynn.

Flynn told Patch that at approximately 5:45 a.m. Monday, a construction superintendent told police that it had appeared that someone had broken into the school. Police later discovered that a fire extinguisher had been sprayed in the cafeteria of the school and a modular construction office outside the school.

In an email to the Stratton school community, principal Michael Hanna stated that no part of the modular classroom space had been affected, and that the school's facilities crew along with a professional cleaning company will be working to clean the building.

Nothing was stolen from the school, according to Flynn.

School was not in session at Arlington's public schools Monday in observance of Rosh Hashanah. Students will return to class Tuesday.

Flynn told Patch that the matter remains under investigation.
