Three teens have been arrested after Fort Lauderdale Police responded to multiple burglaries reported early Saturday morning

FLPD says the incidents were reported near the 900 block of NE 4th Street, starting at approximately 3:50 a.m. regarding a group of males attempting to burglarize vehicles in the area.

In light of the information provided by the residents, a search effort ensued. FLPD Patrol officers, K9 officers and BSO Aviation worked to apprehend the three juvenile suspects, officials said.

The three juvenile suspects are all residents of Fort Lauderdale and are being charged with burglary, loitering and resisting without violence, according to police.

“I’m so happy they got arrested," neighbor Caroline Dondi said. "I’m glad the police take this seriously to get them off the streets. We work hard for the things that we have so they need to stop taking our things.”

Dondi lives in the area and says she’ll be doing some things differently.

“Not walking out by myself at night that’s for sure. On the next-door app we see a lot of this going on in the neighborhood, so I’m really happy that they arrested them and got them off the streets.”

FLPD wants to thank the residents for their cooperation throughout this incident and reminds everyone that if they "see something, say something."

This is an ongoing investigation. Check back for updates.
