RACINE — Five felonies in three separate cases were filed Friday against a 16-year-old Racine boy accused of burglarizing residences since he was 13 years old and as recently as last month.

Already charged with two counts of burglary, a class F felony, in December, Allen J. Shaw Jr. now faces three additional burglary charges as well and two felony bail jumping charges, according to his criminal complaints.

Holding onto fingerprints taken from two crime scenes in August 2011 — including one in which Shaw was named as a suspect in the report — investigators were able to connect Shaw to these cases after he was arrested in November in connection with two different burglaries, his complaints state.

Shaw was reportedly arrested Nov. 11 after he was accused of stealing an Xbox 360 game console and a phone from the residence of an acquaintance in the 5200 block of Biscayne Avenue the night before and stealing a PlayStation 3 game console, a controller and a backpack from a relative’s residence in the 1300 block of South Memorial Drive a month earlier.

Although he denied some of these accusations, according to his December complaint, he admitted to entering both residences and stealing some items to raise money for marijuana.
