At 12:15 a.m., police responded to UNIQLO at Legacy Place on a report of a burglary in progress. Upon arrival, Dedham police and Legacy Place security found the front doors of the store to be locked. Legacy security then reported they believed the caller was a manager, as the caller had stated a burglar had been inside the store but were not reporting an alarm. Officers gained entry to the store and cleared the business. The matter ended up being a misunderstanding, as the caller reported a burglar alarm and not an actual perpetrator.

At 5:22 p.m., police pulled over a blue Nissan in the area of Sawmill Lane and Whiting Avenue, where they arrested one Damian Suba for driving without a license.
