    ‘Brazen' teens arrested on burglary charges
    Wednesday, June 20, 2007 10:23 PM MST
    STAFF REPORTS
    Two teenagers were arrested Tuesday after allegedly stealing about $50,000 in property from several unlocked north-side homes this past weekend.
    Michael E. Decker Jr., 18, and Paul D. Olson III, 17, were charged with four counts of burglary, three counts of theft, one count of theft of transportation and possession of marijuana.
    Three homes were burglarized while the residents were at home, police Lt. Rich Sloma said. Decker and Olson allegedly entered the homes through unlocked doors. They also stole a scooter from a driveway, Sloma said.
    “They were very brazen,” he said.
    No one was confronted or injured in the burglaries.
    These were crimes of opportunity, Sloma said. They could have been prevented had the victims locked their doors and windows.
    Decker and Olson allegedly stole 12 rifles, four handguns, three shotguns, two spearguns, a pellet gun, four hunting knives, a bow and arrow, ammunition, alcohol, a safe, assorted jewelry including a ring, watch and necklace, and prescription drugs. Police have recovered more than $40,000 of the property, Sloma said.
    He said the burglaries occurred in the:
    ? 3200 block of Foothill Plaza
    ? 3400 block of South Amberwood Bay
    ? 3000 block of Gatewood Drive
    ? 3000 block of Foothill Plaza
    Decker and Olson were arrested at 2931 Sombrero Drive after police saw stolen property in plain view, Sloma said.
    Decker's bond was set at $400,000. Olson is being held in the Mohave County Juvenile Facility in Kingman, Sloma said.

    They were so specific on said single bow and single arrow.

    we had our house on the north side broken into about 7 years ago, we didn't have many neighbors back then. they stole some fishing equipment and then proceded to break up stuff and spray paint what they didn't break. they were caught.

    Not So Fast
    Crime is on the rise in Havasu no doubt, so here is a friendly piece of advice to weekenders "Dont put your trash out on Sunday nite unless you are scheduled the next day for pickup. It dont take a brain surgeon to figure out the trash schedule for a neighborhood so if your trash is sitting out and you dont get picked up till say Wed. or Thurs. etc. its an open invitation to a tweeker or burgular that NOBODY's HOME!! And with so many vacant houses the back yard is isolated also!! Join a neighborhood watch program also and appreciate a nosey neighbor likw me NSF

    Very Good advice. It's sad that we can't leave our boats out without fear of losing a prop or worst.
