A Baltimore youth was arrested and charged as a juvenile Tuesday afternoon after a Best Buys security officer caught him trying to steal a Sega video game cassette about 5 p.m., police said.
The 15-year-old was charged with theft under $300 and released to his parents.
Keith Russell, the security officer at the store in the 6700 block of Ritchie Highway, was watching a video monitor when he saw the youth take the $45 cassette and put it under his coat.
The security officer caught the teen-ager before he had left the store, police said.
