Posted

Two Kosciusko County juveniles are in custody at the South Bend Juvenile Detention Center after allegedly burglarizing several area businesses.

Two males, ages 15 and 16, were arrested inside Video World at 970-1/2 N. Lake Street, Warsaw, early Monday morning.

Kosciusko County Dispatch received a call around 3 a.m. Monday regarding a break-in at Video World. When officers arrived, they found a broken window and two people inside. The juveniles were arrested inside the store.

According to Kosciusko County Detective Todd Sautter, one of the juveniles gave a full statement after being questioned Monday morning.

The juvenile reportedly admitted breaking into The Munchbox in Oswego, the Leesburg Mill, C&M Body Shop in Warsaw and Video World in Warsaw.

Shoe impressions at the scenes linked the four burglaries and helped lead to the arrests.

Several other burglaries were reported Monday morning, but police officials do not know if the juveniles were involved in those incidents.

The cases remain under investigation by the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department.
