Two Naperville teens have been charged with burglarizing a Naperville smoke store after throwing a rock through a front glass window, officials said.
The teens, ages 14 and 15, are being detained at home with electronic monitoring after been arrested Sunday on one count each of felony burglary and misdemeanor criminal damage to property, according to a news release from the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office and Naperville Police Department.
Police arrived at Drippy’s Smoke Shop, 1552 N. Aurora Road, about 1:05 a.m. to find the business’ front glass window shattered and an unknown amount off vape products taken, the report said.
Officers located both suspects near the store about 40 minutes later and after a brief foot chase took them into custody, officials said.
“The allegations that two young boys broke into a retail establishment at one o’clock in the morning are very concerning,” State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said in a statement. “Thanks to the outstanding work of the Naperville Police department however, both juveniles were identified and apprehended less than an hour later.”
Both teens are scheduled to be back in court Jan. 27.
