When a neighbor confronted them, they brandished a knife and when he fled into his house they also broke several of his windows and entered his residence. The neighbor retreated to a locked room until the juvenile suspects left. They also smashed several car windows in the block. No one was injured in this incident. Responding officers stopped all four suspects and after investigation placed the three female and one male respondent under arrest for Burglary in the First Degree and Destruction of Property.”
