Mexico Police Department Sgt. Roy Hodsdon said a 15-year-old Rumford boy and a 14-year-old Mexico boy were arrested following a report from a Gleason Street resident that someone had entered his home in the early evening of May 1 and taken $400 in cash.
The boys were arrested May 7 at Mountain Valley Middle School.
The two were arrested on similar burglary charges on May 3 for the theft of $500 cash from a Bucknam Street home.
They had also been charged with a burglary and theft of $10 from Generations, a fitness studio in the Recreation Center, in late April.
