KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two juveniles are in custody and charged for their roles in “dozens of crimes” in Brookside and Waldo, per Kansas City police and court spokespersons.
The two, who are under the age of 18, are charged in Jackson County Juvenile Court.
The court is not releasing the charges the two face because the cases do not involve high-level felonies, a court spokesperson said.
