Investigators said the three teens sneaked out of their homes in the early morning hours and went searching for cars that were unlocked.

The sheriff's office said they received several calls about burglaries and were able to arrest the teens after surrounding the neighborhood.

A 13-year-old boy and two 15-year-old were taken into custody for incidents involving at least 10 cars.

Officials said some of the items stolen include cell phones, cameras, computer tablets, shoes and even a handgun.

Detectives have evidence in those cases, and believe they have property from three other cases that may be connected to the crime spree.
