PROVO — Provo police arrested a 15-year old male Sunday for investigation of residential burglary and criminal trespass stemming from three separate incidents over the weekend.

On Saturday morning, officers responded to a residential burglary call in the area of 200 North and 400 West where a woman awoke to a male in her bedroom. The suspect fled from the home when confronted.

While at that home, officers were advised by a Chrysalis employee that one of the clients of the facility for people with disabilities had walked away earlier and they were unable to locate him.

On Sunday morning officers responded to another residential burglary in the same area of the city and learned of the earlier incident. Officers made contact with the suspect at the Chrysalis home, which is in the same neighborhood.

While interviewing the juvenile male the officers learned that he unlawfully entered or attempted to enter three different homes in the neighborhood.

The juvenile male was transported to the Youth Detention Center.
