Trail Of Candy Wrappers Leads To 5 Arrests 6

5 juveniles were arrested on burglary charges after a police officer followed a candy wrapper trail to a house where they were staying. Police were called to when a man noticed that his neighbor's glass door was broken. Inside the house police found a smashed 36-inch television, broken furniture and holes in several doors. A police officer then followed a trail of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups packages in the back yard to the house where the juveniles were staying. The juveniles, who were 14 to 16 years old, confessed to the burglary after being interviewed and told police that stolen items were hidden in the attic. Hopefully these kids will get the proper thief mentoring they need in jail because a candy trail is just embarrassing.

  • ...of the family guy episode where they captured Adam West in a box by luring him with candy? After reading this story, the only thing I could think of was Adam West's voice saying "ooh, a piece of candy! ooh, a piece of candy" over and over...
    • I think it was James Woods they caught that way, and they did it twice.

      The second time, Peter even mentioned that they need to think of that again right away the next time because its worked twice.

  • and pay the man back for the damages.

      and pay the man back for the damages.

      The state should pay for the immediate fixing of any damages, the criminals should then have to pay that, plus an additional fee as punishment and the interest on this back.

        This makes the state liable for the activities of criminals. Hmm. Dunno what I think of this.
