Police arrested a third Silver Spring teen Monday for the burglary and arson at a Kensington home on April 22.
The boy, 15, was charged with first-degree burglary and malicious destruction of property and is being held at the Alfred D. Noyes Children's Center in Rockville, according to a release from Montgomery County Police.
Two other teens, ages 14 and 15, were arrested April 23 for the incident. They each face three counts of first-degree burglary and one count of first-degree arson and are also being held at the Alfred D. Noyes Children's Center in Rockville.
Because they are juveniles, their names have not been released.
The three teens allegedly robbed and set fire to a house in the 11100 block of Woodson Avenue in Kensington about 3:15 p.m. April 22, according to a release from Montgomery County Police.
The teens are also charged in two burglaries later that afternoon at a house on the same street a few doors away from the house fire and at a nearby house in the 3700 block of Nimitz Road.
In all cases, the homes were unoccupied at the time of the burglaries and the teen allegedly used force to enter the homes and steal items, such as computer equipment and clothing, the release stated.
