A Vicksburg teen was charged with burglary of a Clay Street store early this morning after passers-by reported seeing young people outside the building and possibly one inside.

The 16-year-old was arrested at Payless Shoe Source, 1500 Clay St., at 2:29 by patrolmen responding to the call, Vicksburg police Lt. Bobby Stewart said.

Patrolmen found one inside, who was arrested, and three others, one of whom ran north of Bodley Street. He was wearing a black T-shirt and shorts.

The arrested teen was taken to the Warren County Youth Detention.

The burglary comes five days after four juveniles were accused of breaking into a T-shirt shop six blocks east on Clay and stealing more than $4,000 in clothing, jewelry, lighters, belt buckles and other goods.

No arrests had been made by this morning in the burglary of Maurice’s T-shirts at 2121 Clay, Lt. Bobby Stewart said.

In footage from a nearby surveillance camera, four juveniles were seen walking on Grove Street just after the burglary at Maurice’s. Some of the merchandise was recovered because it was dropped on a nearby street.

Stewart said this morning he did not know if the two burglaries were related.
