On appearance, it looks and sounds like real court.

There’s a judge, a jury, defendants and attorneys.
There’s even a sworn Newton police officer who serves as the court’s “bailiff.”
However, when the “charges” are discussed and the verdict is read, it’s clear this isn’t exactly a court room.
“The jury thinks the defendant should do one day of silent lunch and write their teacher an apology letter,” read Austin Drum, a sixth-grade student at Newton-Conover Middle School and the lead juror at the school’s Teen Court recently.

Police are reminding residents to lock their cars after thieves targeted nine different vehicles in Newton over the weekend.

The break-ins all occurred overnight Jan. 20 in the northern part of the city, and Newton Police believe the incidents are related.

No arrests have been made.
Three break-ins occurred at 415 W. 20th St. in Newton.
Break-ins also occurred at:
* 529 W. 15th St.
* 812 Westbrook Drive

* 822 Westbrook Drive

* 304 W. 18th Drive
* 220 W. 18th Drive
* 2034 N. Drum Ave.
