NEWARK, Del. (AP) - Police say a 12-year-old boy accused of burglarizing a home and breaking into several cars in Newark has been arrested.
Police say the boy was arrested Saturday after someone reported seeing him with a backpack looking through cars in a neighborhood. Police say he initially fled but was arrested shortly after.
Police say they used surveillance footage, physical evidence and interviews to link the boy to a home burglary on April 7. Police say they believe he’s also responsible for entering several cars earlier this month.
Police say the 12-year-old faces second-degree burglary, criminal mischief and other charges.
