Richland police arrested a 14-year-old Burbank boy after identifying him as a suspect in an April 5 burglary in the 1300 block of Stevens Drive. He also is a suspect in a burglary the same day in the 700 block of Symons Street.

He was booked into the bicounty Juvenile Justice Center on suspicion of residential burglary and trafficking in stolen property.

Police also forwarded information to Benton County prosecutors to consider charges against a 16-year-old boy, 17-year-old girl, an 18-year-old woman and a 46-year-old woman in connection with the break-ins.

Both homes that were burglarized were left unlocked, said police.
