<br />3. Vandalism and Burglary
<br />
<br /> The Police Department advises that they are doing everything possible to put a stop
<br />to this.
<br />
<br /> It is known that teenagers are committing these offenses and some arrests have been
<br />made. Nine teenagers have been arrested and charged with burglarizing ten dwellings and
<br />buildings in the Cradock area. Some of the items stolen were recovered and statements by
<br />the teenagers involved have been received, admitting their part in the burglaries. When
<br />these cases came up in Juvenile Court, they were dismissed due to a technicality in the
<br />search warrants~ thereby placing these juveniles back on the street. One of the boy's father
<br />was charged with possession of stolen goods burial'of this date, he has not been tried.
<br />
<br /> Saturday, January 19. Police arrested two juveniles who were among the nine teenagers
<br /> previously arrested. From this arrest, the Police have been able to clear up nine burglaries
<br /> that have occurred in the Cradock area."
