Riverhead police say a teenager was arrested after burglarizing a gas station and car wash early Sunday morning.

Detectives say the juvenile from the Timothy Hill Children's Ranch broke into the business at 915 Old Country Rd. just before 3:30 a.m.

Police told News 12 that they responded because an alarm went off.

Detectives say when the teen was apprehended, he was in possession of a donation box and with multiple items from the store.

The teen was charged with burglary, processed and released on an appearance ticket. He was not identified because he is a minor.

Riverhead police are asking anyone with information about the incident to call them at 631-727-4500.
