Columbia Police Arrest Three Juveniles for Car Break-Ins

Columbia Police arrested three juveniles in connection to more than 13 vehicle break-ins that occurred in the early hours of July 28.

A press release from the Columbia Police Department says that three juveniles were reported to have been checking vehicle doors near Monterey Drive and Sieville Avenue. The release says that when police officers arrived, the juveniles fled on foot, but one was arrested in the 3500 block of Sierra Madre. Officers also located a stolen firearm hidden in the bushes near where the juvenile was arrested.

The two additional juveniles were arrested after a search warrant was executed on Friday in the 2900 block of Lynnwood Drive.

All three juveniles were arrested on charges of second-degree burglary, felony stealing, misdemeanor stealing and felony resisting arrest.
