BOSTON — Two juvenile males, ages 16 and 17, were arrested Friday in connection with multiple break-ins at a Brighton school.
Officers assigned to District D-14 responded to a commercial alarm at 617 Cambridge Street at approximately 8:59 p.m. June 20.
During a perimeter check, officers observed suspicious activity in the basement and located two individuals crouching in a stairwell.
The suspects attempted to remain hidden but were detained without incident after exiting through a rear basement door.
The arrests follow a prior incident Thursday when officers responded to the same address for a similar alarm activation.
Officers found no one inside the building during the Thursday response, but discovered a side door ajar and noted that the alarm panel had been forcibly removed from the wall.
Investigation revealed tampering with a rear door, indicating unauthorized access.
Security camera footage showed two individuals unlawfully entering the premises and vandalizing the alarm system.
Detectives identified the suspects as the same two juveniles involved in the Friday incident.
School management reported the property had been broken into on five separate occasions, though only two incidents had been officially reported.
Both juveniles were arraigned in Boston Juvenile Court.
The 16-year-old was charged with breaking and entering building at nighttime for a felony and trespass with a motor vehicle.
The 17-year-old was charged with breaking and entering building at nighttime for a felony and possession of burglarious instrument.
