Two Juveniles Arrested on Suspicion of Burglary in Clifton
A 15-year-old boy and his 9-year-old brother were arrested recently for the theft of two vehicles. According to The Star-Ledger, the incidents allegedly occurred at an electrical supply business on Sago Street in Clifton. The authorities believe the property was broken into on two consecutive days and car keys and vehicles were stolen. According to the report, a Honda Civic was stolen the first night and a Toyota truck was taken the next day. The 15-year-old boy has allegedly been homeless since being released from a foster home. He now faces burglaries and car theft charges. The 9-year-old has not been officially charged, but the investigation is ongoing.
The whole idea behind New Jersey's juvenile criminal justice system is to rehabilitate troubled youths. There are so many juveniles out there who do not have the proper support system to keep them off the streets and out of harm's way. It is crucial that these young individuals are given fair treatment and understanding during their criminal proceedings.
An experienced juvenile crime defense attorney in New Jersey will work in the best interests of the youth.
