An East Ridge juvenile has been arrested for multiple burglaries, according to a news release.
The boy was arrested on April 17 after Tactical Patrol officers noticed him in the area while they were responding to a burglary on Esterbrook Drive.
Based on the mode of entry to the burglarized residence, police determined that the suspect was small-framed. A woman approached the officers while they were collecting fingerprints and shoe prints and told them she was looking for her juvenile grandson.
The woman’s description of her grandson was very similar to that of the boy officers had noticed walking through the neighborhood earlier, who was also small-framed.
Police left the scene and found the suspect at a nearby residence on Tombras Avenue.
