Officers Brian Ferreira and Mike Perez checked the property and noted that the garage door had been pried open. They found the second juvenile hiding in an adjacent yard.
"They were going to burglarize the interior of the house but they just didn't get a chance to," said Deputy Chief of Police Mike Borges.

Their names were not released due to their ages.
POLICE CHECK OUT LOUD PARTY CALL: CERES - Police arrested a man for public intoxication during a loud party call made at 11:28 p.m. Thursday in the 2900 block of Ambleside.
A neighbor called 911 to report that a raucous party was getting out of hand and that a man was being held down and beaten in front of the residence. Police arrived and saw a large group of males wearing red run inside the house. The occupants didn't open the door when officers knocked on the front door.
Outside the house Frankie Candia, 24, of Ceres, was bleeding in the face. He told officers that he had been in a fight with his brother. He was booked for public intoxication.
Officers left a citation on the door for illegally holding a large party. Deputy Chief Mike Borges said that the first time offense carries a $100 fine. Those cited have the right to due process and a city hearing if they so wish but ignoring payment of a fine can lead the city to impose the fine on a utility billing.
