Youth Charged After Series of Local Thefts and Break In
Boone County Prosecutor Eugene Burns says a Whitestown youth faces Boone County Circuit Court after a string of offenses from attempted safe cracking to bicycle stealing. The youth, found last week trying to crack a safe at Avon Theater, has prior arrests for shoplifting loitering and thefts in Whitestown and Lebanon.
