BEAVER — Two juveniles have been arrested for investigation of a Monday morning burglary at Lake Pleasant Grocery, the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office said.
Following tips and leads from community members, deputies developed probable cause and arrested the boys in Beaver early Monday evening, the Sheriff’s Office announced Thursday.
The owner of the store on U.S. Highway 101 in Beaver discovered early Monday that cash, alcohol and tobacco products had been taken overnight, Clallam County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ed Anderson said Monday.
