A teenager was arrested for breaking into vehicles in Downtown Appleton.
The Appleton Police Department received several calls at around 11:15 Wednesday evening reporting suspicious persons in the 900 block of North Bennett Street and the 800 block of West Winnebago Street.
Three juveniles between 13 and 15 years of age were located near the intersection of Locust Street and Winnebago Street, and one of them was wearing a backpack that matched one on a homeowner’s security camera footage.
It was determined that one of the teens had been entering unsecured vehicles and taking cash.
That individual was arrested for Theft, while the others were released to their guardians.
No names have been released.
This arrest comes just a day after the Department warned residents of the dangers of leaving their vehicles unlocked.
