Juveniles Allegedly Burglarized, Vandalized Mill Valley Homes

MILL VALLEY, CA – Two juveniles have been cited for allegedly burglarizing and vandalizing homes in Mill Valley, authorities announced Thursday.

The crimes took place in October in the 200 block of Julia Avenue and the 200 block of Cleveland Avenue in Mill Valley, according to the Marin County Sheriff's Office.

On Wednesday morning, a victim whose house was burglarized in October spotted flashlights on his property, sheriff's Lt. Scott Harrington said. He called the sheriff's office and responding deputies found a backpack with items that were later determined to be stolen. The deputies also found items that led to the identity of the suspects.

"During the course of our investigation, we determined the juvenile suspects broke into the residences on multiple occasions, stole items, and vandalized the homes prior to leaving," Harrington said.

Both suspects were cited. Due to their age, they have been referred to Marin County Juvenile Probation for prosecution, Harrington said.
