Five suspects arrested in connection with string of burglaries

Lawrence police early Monday morning arrested five suspects who are linked to a series of vehicle burglaries over the weekend.

Officers arrested an 18-year-old woman, an 18-year-old man, two 19-year-old men and a 17-year-old boy at 12:45 a.m. after a traffic stop in the 1500 block of Wakarusa Drive.

Police spokeswoman Kim Murphree said the case was still under investigation Monday as officers were looking into whether the suspects are connected to any other burglaries in the Lawrence area.

The adult suspects were taken to Douglas County Jail on vehicle burglary charges and drug and alcohol possession charges.
