SOUTH HAVEN
Teens said they broke into home to play video games
Three teens reportedly climbed through a window into the home of a friend while they knew the family was away Saturday.
At about 6:40 p.m., however, the friend’s mother returned home to the 700 block of Dearborn Road and chased two of them out of the house. A woman baby-sitting at a nearby home caught a third teen hiding outside.
Police found the two male juveniles, ages 16 and 17, of South Haven, in the area. Jonathan Feliciano, 19 , also of South Haven, called 911 to turn himself in to police.
Feliciano said they went to the house to play videogames because they were in trouble at home and were not allowed to play games there, but he added that they “browsed” through a number of rooms and drawers, according to police.
All three are charged with felony residential entry. Nothing was stolen.
