A 49-year-old man was arrested by Brandon police for theft of merchandise worth about $90 from a business in the 1500 block of 18th St on Friday evening.
Police say they identified a suspect from video surveillance and located later in the evening. He was released to appear in court in July.
In an unrelated case, police also arrested a 13-year-old for theft under $5,000 from a vehicle and resisting/obstructing police in the 700 block of 14th Street on Saturday evening. He was located in the area but ran from the police. Following a foot pursuit, police allege, the teen was captured and found with several stolen items.
The youth was also found to have eight pending charges for failing to comply with the conditions of his court order and was lodged at the BPS cells to appear in court Sunday morning.
