Police: Teens With Stolen Food Break Into Home
Police said the teens had food that was stolen in a burglary the night before.
Anne Arundel County police arrested three teens Thursday after officers found them inside a Pumphrey home with food stolen from another home, according to a department press release.
Shortly after 3 p.m., officers responded to a reported burglary in progress at a home on the 300 block of Bishop Avenue, when a neighbor informed the homeowner—who was not present at the time—of teens who were entering and leaving the house, according to police.
The officers surrounded the house, found signs of forced entry and located the three teens inside, along with outside food items, police said.
Investigators determined some of the food recovered was stolen the night before from another house, on the 200 block of Berlin Avenue in Pumphrey, police said.
Police charged a 13-year-old girl, a 15-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy in the Bishop Avenue burglary, and charged the two boys in the Berlin Avenue burglary from the prior night.
Police did not identify the juveniles.
