Shoe Store Burglary Leads To Arrest Of Six Teens: Police

LEESBURG, VA — Six teenagers have been arrested in connection with a burglary at a Leesburg sneaker store on Sunday morning, according to the Leesburg Police Department.

Authorities have not identified any of the suspects by name due to a Virginia law that protects the identities of minors. The police department noted that they were all between 14 and 16 years old.

The burglary occurred around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday at the Restocked Sneakers in Madison Trade Plaza. Multiple callers told police that they heard loud banging noises and people running away from the store.

When officers arrived at the store, they saw that someone had shattered the business's front window and stole merchandise.

Officers established a perimeter and took five of the suspects into custody on Friday morning. The sixth teen was identified as a suspect later.

The officers recovered some of the stolen merchandise from the apprehended teens. They found more stolen merchandise in a vehicle that one of the teens had taken from a family member without their knowledge, according to the police department.

Investigators are working to determine whether the burglary is related to a similar incident that occurred at Restocked Sneakers on Nov. 17.
