HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) -- Three people are jailed after being arrested in 15 burglaries in Hutchinson.

The crimes began April 10 with a burglary at a convenience store. Targets also included seven churches and Hutchinson High School.

The suspects were arrested Monday after Hutchinson police received an anonymous tip.

Prosecutors have charged 24-year-old Justin Lee Branscom and 19-year-old Tyler Schmucker of Hutchinson with multiple counts of burglary, criminal damage, criminal trespass and theft. A 16-year-old faces similar charges.

Branscom and Schmucker are in custody of the Reno County Sheriff, each on a $45,000 bond. The teenager is in a juvenile facility.
