A 16-year-old Readfield boy has been charged in connection with a March 14 home invasion, Interim Kennebec County Sheriff Ryan Reardon said Wednesday in a news release.
The boy, whose name is being withheld because of his age, was charged with burglary and theft.
Reardon said two deputies responded to a 2 a.m. 911 call from a home on Plains Road in Readfield. The caller reported that a male had broken into his home while he and his family were sleeping. The homeowner said he discovered the boy in his basement.
The boy fled after rummaging through the home and an unlocked vehicle, Reardon said. After an investigation, deputies questioned the boy, who admitted his involvement, according to police. He has been ordered to appear at the Capital Judicial Center.
