Three Evanston teenagers were arrested Sunday morning in connection with three north Evanston break-ins.

Police were called to a Verizon Wireless store at 2516 Green Bay Road at about 1:10 a.m., where they found a broken window on the building’s north end with two bricks inside. An employee reported a computer tablet missing from the store.

Later that morning, at about 1:45 a.m., police were called to Great Harvest Bread Company at 2126 Central St. by a witness who said they heard glass breaking and saw three people running southbound from the store. Police discovered a broken window on the shop’s west side. Officers then found the three teenagers about a block south of the store, attempting to break open a cash register box.

The teenagers — two girls ages 12 and 13 and one boy age 12 — were found with a computer tablet and several packs of cigarettes, which were stolen from a Walgreens store at 2102 Green Bay Road at about midnight but not reported to police until about two hours later. A brick had been thrown through the Walgreen’s front entrance window.

All three juveniles were charged with three counts of burglary and were petitioned to juvenile court.
