BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — Boca Raton Police charged four young men for their alleged roles in burglaries to homes in the City of Boca Raton. It was good old fashioned police work that led to the arrests. The men charged, however, are apparently not suspected in a major residential burglary in Boca Falls, a large gated development west of 441 between Glades Road and Palmetto Park Road. A home was burglarized there earlier in the month.
Here is the official report from City of Boca Raton Police:

The first officer who arrived on scene started checking the house when he found a rusted outdoor chair under a window on the side of the house. The window, which was made of impact glass did not shatter, but was loosened enough to push in and climb through. A perimeter was quickly established and K-9 conducted a search inside the residence but the suspect had already left.
