An array of electronic devices has been recovered by Ohio Township Police as they arrested the three teenagers responsible for a series of vehicle break-ins in the Avonworth School District.

Three 17-year-olds -- two from the district and one from the North Hills -- were caught after an Emsworth resident saw two youths peering into a parked vehicle and alerted police. Chief Beaver Micklos said that the boys ran when police arrived, but officers were able to identify them, and they later confessed.

So far police have recovered 10 GPS units, one satellite radio, five Ipods, three pairs of binoculars, four flashlights and various other items stolen from vehicles in Ohio and Kilbuck townships, Emsworth, Ben Avon and Ben Avon Heights. Police were able to access home addresses on some of the GPS devices to identify the owners, who had not been aware that the units had been stolen locally.

All of the vehicles had been left unlocked by their owners, Micklos said.

Charges against the youths are pending.
