CENTRALIA, IL — Centralia police arrested two teens from One Hope United in connection with the early Thursday morning break-in at the Casey’s General Store at 908 East Noleman.
According to Centralia Police Chief Greg Dodson, officers responded to an alarm call at the store around 12:15 a.m.
Upon their arrival, officers found the glass had been shattered on one of the front doors to the store and entry had been made. The suspects reportedly took liquor from the store and fled the scene on foot.
A trail of dropped goods taken from the store led officers from the scene. Officers ultimately apprehended the teens — a 15-year-old juvenile and 19-year-old Benjamin Gottlieb – at One Hope United.
