A 16-year-old juvenile (no gender given) was arrested for Burglary, two counts of Simple Assault on a Protected Professional, Resisting Arrest, Grand Larceny, and Aggravated Operating without Owners Consent resulting from an attempted burglary Jan. 31 of Get Yours, a smoke shop/adult products store in Berlin.
An online review calls Get Yours a “store for adults and smokers that offers smoking accessories and intimate products to tarot cards and artwork, Get Yours’ mantra is ‘go out and get what you deserve.”
Berlin police responded to an alarm at Get Yours, located at 465 RT 302 Berlin. They were told a juvenile was inside the business.
Once officers were on scene, they surrounded the building and ordered the juvenile out of the building. The juvenile was taken into custody for the burglary.
After the juvenile was in custody, he or she began to resist. The juvenile bit and assaulted two officers. The juvenile was transported to the Montpelier Police Department for officer safety and issued a citation to appear in court in the afternoon of Jan. 31.
Officers later determined the juvenile stole a vehicle prior to committing the burglary and used the vehicle to get to the Get Yours store in Berlin to commit the offenses.
