LIMERICK — Deputies have arrested five juveniles and one man in connection with the burglaries of two homes in December.

One burglary took place at a Johnson Road home when the elderly resident was away and another was a Stone Hill Road home whose owner had died several weeks earlier, according to the York County Sheriff’s Office.

The burglars stole several thousand dollars worth of property and caused damage to both homes, according to the office.

School Resource Deputy Jason Solomon identified the suspects and learned that they planned additional burglaries in the area, according to the sheriff’s office. The investigation led to the recovery of several hundred dollars worth of stolen goods.

Solomon summonsed two male juveniles from Limerick, two male juveniles from Waterboro and one female juvenile from Limington. Anthony Palmitessa, 18, of Limerick was also summonsed and charged with burglary.
