Police arrest teens for attempted break-in, graffiti

Police arrested two Madison teenagers early Sunday morning following a burglary at a home and multiple graffiti taggings on Madison's west side.

The two teens, 13 and 14 years old, found a key hidden outside of the home and attempted to break in and steal money, but Madison Police Department Spokesperson Joel DeSpain said the resident called the police.

A police dog tracked down one of the suspects and police arrested the second teenager after an investigation.
