Burglary Charges

Boca Raton police arrested two subjects on charges of loitering and prowling and burglary to an occupied dwelling last Tuesday, said police spokeswoman Sandra Boonenberg.

An officer on routine patrol about 3:20 a.m. in the 6000 block of North Federal Highway said he observed a dark colored SUV exit from Enfield Street, commit several traffic infractions, and then head northbound on Federal Highway at a high rate of speed. 

After stopping the vehicle, the officer observed a variety of items in the back seat, police said.  The occupants gave conflicting stories and were subsequently arrested for loitering and prowling. 

Among the items was a woman’s wallet and purse that listed a nearby address.  Police contacted them, and they said they were not aware the house had been entered.

Officers also found items taken from cars in the suspects’ vehicle.

The men arrested were identified as Bradley C. Begens, 20, of Aqua Vista Way, Boca Raton, and Stuart R. Bull, 21, of Boynton Beach.
