Police: Teenagers Charged With B&E had Alcohol

Two teenagers were arrested Saturday night after several alleged theft attempts in the area around the Chandler/Lawrence Street intersection, the District D4 police department reported.

Police say Marc C. Cote, 19 of Medford and Marvin M. Maurin, 19 of Revere were seen breaking into a car on Lawrence Street around 9:28 p.m. When officers approached, items from the vehicle’s glove compartment and center console were strewn about.

Both suspects "took off running" when police arrived, leading officers on a short chase after scaling a fence on Clarendon Street, according to a report.

Bystanders reportedly told police they had also seen the pair try to enter a locked business in the area and attempt to steal a bicycle from the corner of Chandler and Clarendon streets.

A search of the teenagers’ backpack revealed alcohol and a small amount of marijuana, police said. Both suspects were charged with breaking and entering a vehicle in the nighttime and being minors in possession of alcohol.
