Three teens are in custody in the Elkhart County Jail and Elkhart County Juvenile Detention Center after an Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department investigation into recent burglaries.

Police were told Wednesday about suspicious people in a neighborhood. Patrolman Shannon Stanfill started investigating the report and Det. Charles Osterday got a search warrant for a home believed to be associated with people involved in recent burglaries.

Officers seized electronic items, including gaming systems and TVs, reported taken in two residential burglaries — one on C.R. 9 and one in Wakarusa. Eight guns also were recovered.

Neil Jariett, 18, and Rory Young, 19, both of Goshen, were preliminarily charged with burglary, a Class C felony. A 17-year-old boy was arrested on a juvenile delinquency allegation of burglary.

Jariett and Young are in the county jail and the 17-year-old is in the juvenile center, police said.

Although two burglaries have been cleared, investigators are looking into any other potential crimes that may be associated with the teens.
