Final answer:

The reason for Adolphe Le Bon's arrest is not explicitly stated, but possible reasons include his presence at the crime scene with stolen items, having a previous criminal record, acting suspiciously, or being identified by a witness.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question suggests Adolphe Le Bon was arrested without explicit reason provided by the author. When considering the typical reasons for an arrest in connection to a crime, such as the one mentioned in the passages, the police might arrest a person based on suspicious activities near the crime scene, prior criminal record, being found at the crime scene with stolen items, or being identified by a witness as the perpetrator.

Given the context included and the nature of police investigations described in the snippets, we can infer that the police operate on evidence and suspicions arising from a person's behavior or presence at a certain location. However, it is also highlighted that arrests can be made on the basis of circumstantial evidence or association with the crime scene, as seen in the case of the two boys who hid from the police due to fear of being wrongly accused.

Possible Reasons for Arrest

  • Presence at the crime scene with potential evidence such as stolen items.
  • Previous criminal history that could arouse suspicion.
  • Behavior deemed suspicious in proximity to the crime scene.
  • Identification by a witness linking him directly to the crime.

Without specific details from the author on why Adolphe Le Bon was arrested, any of these reasons could apply, but they remain speculative without further textual evidence.
