Police charge two 15-year-olds who allegedly broke into cars

A Whipple Avenue resident called Barrington Police at about 3 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 22, after she spotted two individuals on bikes going from house to house, checking car door handles.

The caller said it appeared that the individuals were trying to break into cars — she said they both had backpacks and were wearing masks.

Police officers responded and located the two individuals. Police said the individuals — two 15 year-old boys, one from Barrington and one from Warren — were in possession of items that they had stolen from vehicles. The items included loose change, small speakers and cigarettes.

Police charged one 15-year-old with two counts of larceny under $1,500, and they charged the other 15-year-old with four counts of larceny under $1,500. Police said the cases will be sent to the town’s juvenile hearing board.
