GREEN COVE SPRINGS – The police department got some much-needed and greatly-appreciated help from an unexpected source on March 10 when a mother said she believed her 14-year-old son was likely responsible for a pair of break-ins at the BP gas station at 1383 N. Orange Ave.
Somebody smashed a side window on Feb. 13 and robbed the store of cigarettes and vapes. The theft also tried to pry the cash register open, the Green Cove Springs Police Department said.
The robber returned March 10 and repeated the crime. While on the scene, “officers were approached by a woman holding a backpack and claiming her son may be who we were looking for. The backpack was filled with stolen items from burglaries. Detectives interviewed the 14-year-old suspect, which led to a full confession and an arrest of the juvenile,” GCSPD said.
The boy wasn’t identified because of his age.
