A Thayer Pond Road woman tells police that one of her major credit cards was used to charge $11,600 at a Home Depot in Massachusetts.
The 34-year-old still has the card, which may have been duplicated, but never went missing, police say. She notified police of the apparent fraud at about 2 p.m. on Feb. 11, officials say.

A home alarm may have preempted an burglary at a Father Peters Lane home, police say.
A man returning home shortly before 7 p.m. on Feb. 12 when his alarm was triggered, found that a window in a first-floor office had been forced open, according to a police report. Police found tire tracks and evidence of someone having been on the property, though there was no sign that anyone had entered the home, Sgt. Carol Ogrinc said. It’s possible the home alarm scared off the intruder, she said.
