Two Vicksburg teens accused in burglaries throughout the county and city over the past few days were charged Wednesday with six more crimes in Vicksburg.
Bobby Bunton, 17, 209 Demby Drive, and Malcolm Robertson, 19, no address available, were charged Wednesday in five auto burglaries and a home burglary in Vicksburg, police Sgt. Sandra Williams said.
Both are accused of taking:
• A TomTom GPS and charger valued at $150 from a 2002 Ford Escort and TomTom GPS valued at $200 from a 2007 Dodge Ram in the 100 block of Dru Drive reported on July 30.
• A Kenwood radio from a 1990 Pontiac Grand Am in the 200 block of Kendra Drive reported on July 30.
• A Pioneer car stereo from a 1996 Chevrolet 1500 in the 700 block of Belva Drive reported on July 29.
• A Compaq laptop valued at $700 from a 1997 Honda Civic in the 100 block of Ethel Drive reported on July 28.
• A Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun from a home in the 200 block of Demby Drive reported on July 26.
The GPS taken from the Ram, the Kenwood radio, the shotgun and the laptop have been recovered, Williams said.
The two were charged Monday in the city with auto burglary and auto theft. Robertson also was charged in a home burglary that had been reported July 12.
Also on Monday, Warren County officials charged the two with 12 counts of auto burglary, two counts of credit card fraud, burglary of a building and possession of burglary tools, Sheriff Martin Pace said.
Charges were derived from burglaries reported a week ago on Glass and Hartley roads, Red Oaks, Impala and Buford drives and Rocky Lane in south Warren County.
They also were charged in the burglary of a building in the 2100 block of Glass Road.
Both remained in the Warren County Jail today. Bunton was being held on a $180,000 bond, and Robertson on a $230,000 bond for county charges. In addition, each was being held on a $10,000 bond for city charges filed Monday. No bond had been set on charges announced Wednesday.
A third teen, Latrice D. Wheatley, 17, 109 Delta Dawn Circle, was charged with two counts of credit card fraud and was released Monday on a $5,000 bond.
