A Bradenton Beach police officer arrested a juvenile for allegedly attempting to burglarize a vehicle.
The officer responded to a call from a vehicle owner who said three people attempted to enter their parked car but, upon discovering someone inside, the juveniles fled.
While an officer searched the area for the suspects, the vehicle owner apprehended one of the youths, who was taken to the BBPD station.
An officer contacted the youth’s father and transported the youth, whose name was withheld, to a juvenile center.
If convicted of attempted burglary of an occupied conveyance, a second-degree felony, the youth could face up to five years incarceration, $5,000 in fines and probation.
