Late Saturday afternoon, an off duty Campbell Police officer noticed a suspicious juvenile walking through yards near his home.

Detective Sergeant John Rusnak says, "He observed a male juvenile walking up his street with a bed sheet and it had items inside of it.  You could tell by the shape of the bed sheet it had numerous items in it."

Around the same time, neighbors say a similar scene unfolded one block over.

Neighbor Jerry Colbert says, "They walked down the street and then they come back up the street and they had a wagon full of merchandise."

The off duty officer called for back-up, and they arrested 4 juveniles.  The kids, ranging in age from 9 to 17, allegedly broke into a home on Blossom Avenue.

Detective Sergeant Rusnak says, "Playstations, gaming consoles, jewelry, pretty much laptops, any thing they could get their hands on."

The very next day, officers responded to the same area and a very similar situation.  It was a call of two unknown black males roaming through back yards.  One was 18 year old Sentell Wright.  Officers say he was carrying stolen property from the previous day's robbery.  They took him and one other juvenile into custody.

Detectives are also investigating a burglary on Coitsville Road involving the same suspects.
