Saline police arrest teens for home invasion
Saline police arrested two teenagers suspected of burglarizing a home on Marlpool Drive in southeast Saline earlier today.
Police Chief Paul Bunten said a neighbor called police after seeing the young men enter the home through a sliding door.
Officers arrived and caught the teens leaving the house, Bunten said. They were carrying items like jewelry, a camera and a Nintendo Wii.
Bunten said the teens are 17 and 16 years old. Their hometown was not available, but police said they aren't from Saline.
He said the 17-year-old is being held at the Washtenaw County Jail pending authorization of a warrant for home invasion.
The 16-year-old was being released to his parents and is expected to be charged with home invasion in juvenile court.
The teens are also suspected in an attempted break-in that occurred late this morning in Milan.
