The CNMI Superior Court imposed a $10,000 bail for each of the five juveniles who allegedly broke into a home and stole a flat screen television.

According to Department of Public Safety spokesperson Adrian Pangelinan, Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph Camacho issued on April 2, 2019, the arrest warrants for all five juveniles allegedly involved in a burglary and theft in Garapan, and set a bail of $10,000 for each of them.

All five have been arrested and are now facing charges of burglary, theft, and conspiracy to commit burglary and theft.

In a DPS press release, it said that police dispatch received a 911 call on March 26 at around 11:32pm, regarding a possible burglary and theft incident in Garapan.

The DPS Koban—community police—was immediately dispatched to Phoenix Gardens in Garapan.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects gained entry into a guest house by forcing a door open and a flat screen TV had been stolen.

At 2:14am of the same day, officers conducted a follow-up routine check at the guest house and noticed the interior lights were turned on and air-conditioning units were running inside.

The police officers discovered the five juveniles inside the guest house and arrested them.

The suspects allegedly confessed to the burglary.

Because the suspects are considered juvenile, details including their names, age, and gender could not be disclosed.
