The 15-year-old teen was charged with juvenile delinquency because of his age. Had he been charged as an adult, he would have been charged with petty larceny, a misdemeanor. He was scheduled to appear at the Westchester Department of Probation on Dec. 17.
The 16-year-old teen was charged with petty larceny, a misdemeanor. He was scheduled to appear in Yorktown Town Hall on Dec. 19.

After they were processed, one teen was released to a relative and the other to a parent.
