8. UPDATE: Teen Arrested

AUGUS — A 16-year-old from Everett has been arrested after he allegedly broke into a Saugus mall and stole a gun and ammunition, law enforcement officials said.

The teenager had broken into Dick’s Sporting Goods at the Square One Mall overnight and was able to bend a rack where the gun was stored.

Saugus police were summoned to the scene at 4:20 a.m. when a burglar alarm at the store went off. The officer who responded saw a broken window.

Police, including SWAT officers, swarmed the mall and people were asked to avoid the area, but it turned out that the youth was not there. Saugus Police Chief Domenic J. DiMella said, “I’m not sure what time he left.” The mall was shut down during the investigation.
