CAPE CORAL, Fla. — Though just being released from the Juvenile Assessment Center on June 29 for a gun burglary, police arrested 11-year-old Lukis Ayala for over 16 vehicle burglaries.

Lukis Ayala confessed to the burglaries and police took him back to the Juvenile Assessment Center.

Police charged him with 16 counts of burglary of a conveyance, one count of grand theft of $750 to $5,000 and three counts of petit theft.
