Police were tipped off after a man called and reported that his property in Wrentham had recently been broken into, and he feared that his Franklin property may also be targeted.
Officers responded to the man's Franklin home, found signs of a break-in and arrested Lennon on the scene, according to police.
During the investigation officers said they found documents that showed targeted homes of families who had lost family members, and would be attending services for them.
An investigation is still ongoing with law enforcement agencies from neighboring communities.
Lennon was held on $50,000 cash bail over the weekend. He was also arraigned on outstanding charges from the U.S. Marshals.
