Three boys arrested in Cub Foods building

Burglary and criminal damage to property charges have been brought against three Hutchinson boys found inside the vacant former Cub Foods building Saturday afternoon.

Hutchinson police were called to the building about 3:30 p.m. by an alarm. They found the three inside. The boys apparently had gotten in through a door on the west side. An estimated $2,000 in damage was done to glass and light fixtures.

The boys included two 14-year-olds and a 15-year-old. They were booked and taken to the McLeod County Jail in Glencoe. Juvenile petitions for charges of first-degree felony damage to property and third-degree burglary were signed by the McLeod County Attorney’s Office on Monday.

Police announced Wednesday they are seeking juvenile petitions for the same charges against two more 14-year-olds and a 15-year-old believed to have been involved with the others in earlier burglaries at the Cub Foods building.
