Another charged in two city burglaries
Charges were filed on March 22 against a 15-year-old Caledonia juvenile for two burglaries in the city on February 22.
The boyís name cannot be made public because he is under the age of 16. He faces four counts of felony theft and two third degree burglary charges.
The boy has not been arrested, so no hearing date has been set yet, assistant Houston County Attorney Sue Harnack said on March 24.
Another person, Dustin James Saukko, 20, Caledonia, faces the same charges as the juvenile.
The burglaries occurred at Caledonia Auto Center and the Caledonia Mall (the former elementary school).
Saukko is currently in the Houston County jail. He will appear in court again on March 28 at 10:30.
