Three teens have been charged in connection to a dozen St. Paul home burglaries in August and September.

According to court documents, three 16-year-olds are accused of breaking into the homes - some of them, while people were inside.

Authorities say while they were investigating the most recent burglaries, an officer knocked on the door of a home in a neighborhood nearby and one of the teens answered.

Inside, they found items that were reported stolen and the two other teens hiding behind a shower curtain.
