A 17-year-old was charged on Sunday in connection with a string of burglaries across the city.

Chicago police said the teen was arrested on Saturday afternoon and charged with 17 felony counts of burglary and one felony count of attempted burglary. He was also charged with misdemeanor criminal damage to property less than $500.

Police said he was identified as one of the offenders who participated in multiple burglary incidents at the following times and locations:

The teen was placed into custody and charged accordingly, police said.

The charges come a day after Charles Kelley, 19, from Chicago, was charged in eight of the burglaries and an attempted burglary in Oak Lawn.

The State's Attorney's Office said Kelley admitted to three of the incidents, but a judge ruled he could not be detained under the pretrial fairness act — meaning he will not remain in custody while the case proceeds.

He was due in court again on Sunday.

Additional information about the teen suspect was not released.
