The Medford Police announced today that two 15-year-olds were arrested for breaking into several cars on Surrey Street early Saturday morning.

According to Lt. Paul Covino, a Surrey Street resident called police at 4:30AM after watching two teens break into his vehicle. After police arrived they noticed several cars had been broken into. Police located the suspects after searching the area and apprehended them after a brief foot chase.

The juveniles are being charged with seven counts of breaking and entering into a motor vehicle with intent to commit a felony.

Police declined to name the suspects because they are juveniles.
