Saline County authorities have arrested three teens in a spate of recent burglaries and vehicle break-ins.
Of the three, Cristopher Lee, 17, was being charged as an adult by the Saline County prosecutors office.
The three suspects have each been charged with 10 counts of breaking and entering, and two counts of residential burglary. Most of the thefts were of unlocked cars at residences, authorities say.
The two minors were turned over to juvenile authorities, while Lee was placed into custody.
The arrests came after a joint investigation between Benton and Bryant police departments.
The investigation could yield additional charges, authorities say, including charges against additional suspects.
Anyone with further information relating to these crimes is strongly encouraged to contact the Benton Police Department at 778-1171 or the Bryant Police Department at 847-0211.
