With the power out early Tuesday, two teens thought they could take advantage by breaking into the Gasland Convenient Store at 1305 15th St., Moline.

Officer Chase Schwigen was patrolling in the area and saw the teens and a third suspect crawling out of a broken front window around 1 a.m. The two boys, 15 and 16, were arrested after a foot chase. Police were looking for the third suspect.

Moline police were also investigating a burglary at Travelers Mart, 3759 41st St. Police said glass on the front door was broken and cigarettes, liquor and cash were stolen while the business was without power.
