Three teens arrested for burglaries

 Flathead County Sheriff’s deputies have arrested three teenage boys in connection with several burglaries in the Evergreen area, including at the Evergreen Army-Navy store.

Sheriff Chuck Curry said his office received a tip that led to the arrest of a 15-year-old Kalispell boy. Subsequent investigation led to the arrests of two Evergreen-area boys, ages 14 and 15. 

Additional youths have been connected with area thefts but have not yet been charged.

As a result of the arrests, several items stolen from the Army-Navy store early Sunday morning have been recovered. The front door of the store was broken and thousands of dollars’ in merchandise stolen during a smash-and-grab burglary.

Tips provided to the Sheriff’s Office also have led to charges against the trio for thefts and burglaries at Pacific Steel, Flathead Glass Works, Evergreen Subway, Evergreen Gas and Deli, Heads-Up Tobacco, Smoke Haus Emporium and the Evergreen McDonald’s restaurant.

An investigation is ongoing, and anyone with further information is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 758-5585.
