Police: Menifee Boys Stole iPads, XBoxes and More in Nighttime Home Invasions

"During most of the burglaries, the victims were asleep inside the house," a sherif's sergeant said.

Two boys are suspected of burglarizing Menifee homes and stealing property while the residents were asleep.

The juveniles, whose identities were not released because of their ages, allegedly broke into multiple residences over the past month, generally in the vicinity Holland and Menifee roads, according to Riverside County sheriff's Sgt. Sam Morovich.

Both youths, who were arrested over the weekend, "entered the occupied dwellings through unsecured sliding glass doors, windows and pet access doors," the sergeant alleged.
