Earlier this month, a burglary in progress awakened neighbors and prompted a swift response from law enforcement. On June 19, deputies with Constable Mark Herman's Office were called to the scene in the 200 block of Woerner Road. By the accounts given, authorities arrived promptly, intercepting a 15-year-old male suspect amid his alleged illicit endeavor.

The juvenile, whose identity is withheld due to his age, stands accused of penetrating the establishment's defenses, expropriating property, and wreaking havoc to the tune of over $4,500 in damages. Details surrounding the incident remain scarce.

This incident didn't solely involve an isolated culprit; another young individual, an 11-year-old, has also been entwined with the charges. As per a statement issued by Constable Mark Herman, "The juvenile male was arrested and booked into the Harris County Juvenile Detention Center, charged with Burglary of a Building. An additional suspect was also charged, he was identified as an 11 year old juvenile suspect. " 

The circumstances leading up to the alleged burglary, along with the intended destination of the stolen goods, have yet to be publicly disclosed.
