Three teens arrested in break-in
MORRISON – A 17-year-old Rock Falls boy is being held on $75,000 bond; he and two other teens are accused of breaking into a classmate’s house Wednesday and stealing video game equipment and other items.
Terrance L. Jordan is charged with two counts of residential burglary, punishable by 4 to 15 years in prison. He is being held on $75,000 bond and has a preliminary hearing Wednesday. The other boys, ages 15 and 16, each are charged with residential burglary. They were released to their parents and given notice to appear in court.
Rock Falls Police were called to the home in the 600 block of Seventh Avenue around 3 p.m. Both the front and back doors were unlocked, Police Chief Mike Kuelper said.
The boys allegedly took off with several X-Box games, a camera and miscellaneous change, which they stashed around the neighborhood, presumably to “come back and get it later,” Kuelper said.
Neighbors and other residents identified the boys, who were interviewed at Rock Falls High School on Thursday and arrested.
Kuelper said he does not think the boys are involved in any other Rock Falls burglaries.
