Those arrested were a 16-year-old male juvenile and 16-year-old female juvenile, both from Woodbridge. The male was charged with two counts of burglary, two counts of grand larceny and one count of resisting arrest. The female was charged with burglary and grand larceny.

Court dates for both suspects are pending, the police report said. The male juvenile is being held at the Prince William Juvenile Detention Center, and the female juvenile was released to her guardian.

The police also discovered that the male juvenile suspect was responsible for a Jan. 12 burglary at the same residence, according to the police report. The homeowner on that date told police that a gaming console, iPhone, tablet and other property were missing.

There were no signs of forced entry into the home. the report said. Entry is believed to have been made through a basement window after the screen was cut and removed.
