Jacob Elijah Belokon, of Aventura, was taken into custody Tuesday on a charge of burglary of an unoccupied dwelling, a second-degree felony, according to an Aventura Police Department arrest affidavit. He was booked at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.

His arrest follows that of Gur Levy, also 18, who was previously charged with burglary of an unoccupied dwelling and criminal mischief causing at least $1,000 in damage in connection with the Oct. 13 incident at Building 4000 on Williams Island.

According to investigators, five males and two females entered the building through a rear entrance just before 8:45 p.m. A front-desk security officer believed she recognized one of the teenagers as a resident and allowed the group inside, police said. Authorities later determined none of the seven lived in the building.

The group took an elevator to the top floor and entered a penthouse undergoing renovations, where a woman kept several toolboxes, drills, batteries and other construction materials, according to the affidavit. Police said members of the group damaged several tools before going onto the roof and throwing items toward the rear of the building, including screwdrivers, circular diamond blades, spatulas and a toolbox.

Authorities said the falling objects could have seriously injured anyone standing below. A resident reported hearing objects strike the ground and alerted a security guard, who went to the roof and found five males matching the teenagers' descriptions, police said. The guard escorted them outside, unaware the penthouse had been burglarized, according to the affidavit. The teenagers then tried to re-enter through the rear entrance before running off, police said. The two females were not located at the scene.

The owner of the damaged tools estimated her losses at about $2,000, including damaged equipment and work lost while replacing parts, authorities said. She told investigators Tuesday she did not want to pursue criminal mischief charges at that time, according to the affidavit.

Detectives used surveillance footage to identify members of the group as students at Don Soffer High School in Aventura, police said. On Tuesday, an investigator contacted Belokon at his home, and he agreed to accompany the investigator to the Aventura Police Department for a recorded interview. After being read his Miranda rights, Belokon agreed to speak with detectives, authorities said.

According to the affidavit, Belokon admitted entering the penthouse and described the residence, including the construction work underway inside. He also identified himself and other members of the group in surveillance images and acknowledged he knew he was not permitted inside and that none of his friends or acquaintances lived there, police said. He denied personally damaging any property but identified two people who allegedly picked up toolboxes and threw them from the roof, according to the affidavit.

Two other teenagers identified in Levy's arrest report as 17-year-old Jayden Weiler and 16-year-old Bjorlin Acostaaristy were listed as co-defendants who remained at large at the time of that report. It was not immediately clear whether either has been detained; Belokon's arrest report does not list any co-defendants.

The case has drawn attention on Williams Island, a gated residential enclave known for its high-rise condominiums, and raises questions about building security and the potential dangers of objects thrown from upper floors. The investigation remains active.
