Joplin Juvenile Arrested On Burglary Charges

 A Joplin juvenile is arrested after a burglary Saturday morning.

 The Joplin Police Department Emergency Communications Center received a report of a business alarm at 407 South Rangeline Road Suite #2 in Joplin, just after midnight. When officers arrived, they found the backdoor to the business unsecured and it appeared the business had been burglarized. Officers observed a male subject inside and ordered him to come outside. The suspect refused and fled out of the front door. Officers chased and apprehended the subject a short distance away.

 Officials say the suspect had broken the glass on display cases inside the business and filled several bags with various vaping and CBD products along with cash from the business. The suspect, a 17-year-old juvenile male, was charged with burglary in the 2nd Degree and felony resisting arrest.

 After consultation with the Jasper County Juvenile Detention Office, officers were instructed to release the suspect to the custody of one of his parents.

 The investigation is ongoing.
