A teenage boy was arrested earlier this month for burglarizing and attempting to burglarize two Fort Greene homes in one day.

At 12:08 p.m. on Feb. 4, a 24-year-old woman reported that someone entered her Gates Avenue apartment located near Classon Avenue and took her iPhone and laptop.

The person had entered through the apartment's front door, which the woman's roommate had not locked.

Later that day, at 8:35 p.m., a 47-year-old man was in his Grand Avenue home located near Gates Avenue, when he was alerted that his home security system was being activated. 

The man told police he went downstairs and saw his front window, which had been unlocked, was open. He cheked his security camera, which showed a man walking up to and stepping into the window ledge to open the window. The man did not get into the house. 

Police arrested a 17-year-old male in connection to the two incidents.
