WESTBROOK — Police charged three juveniles with 12 counts of burglary to a motor vehicle and two counts of possession of alcohol by a minor after residents reported seeing a large group of minors rummaging through cars early Saturday morning.
Westbrook Police Capt. Tom Roth said residents in the area of Constitution Drive and Pioneer Road called police about 2 a.m. Saturday to report the burglaries.
Officers caught two juveniles, who led police to a larger group. An investigation led to charges against three of the minors.
Roth said all of the items stolen from the cars, including sunglasses, CDs and loose change, were recovered.
He said nearly all car burglaries investigated this year have involved unlocked cars. Police urge residents to lock their vehicles at all times.
