San Francisco police have arrested three teenage boys believed to have been involved in a series of smash-and-grab robberies at retail shops across the city this spring.
In a news release Tuesday, police said the suspects -- ages 14, 15 and 16 -- were arrested on suspicion of multiple charges, including burglary, grand theft and organized retail theft.
Police said 10 smash-and-grab burglaries occurred in the city between March 18 and April 10 and that at least one of the three suspects was involved in all of them -- and sometimes all three -- with groups of other people ranging in size from four to nine.
Police have arrested several others -- all juveniles -- in connection with some of the burglaries.
