PALM BAY, Fla. (AP) – Police say a trail of candy wrappers helped them find five Florida teens suspected of breaking in to a nearby home.
Officers responded to a burglary report Tuesday in Palm Bay on Florida’s central Atlantic coast. An officer then followed a trail of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups packages in the backyard. The officer noticed another wrapper on the front porch of a house near the victim’s home.
Officers found several juveniles at the other house. Police say the teens confessed to the burglary and informed officers that the stolen property was in the attic.
Three of the teens face armed burglary charges and two others face charges of resisting arrest without violence and tampering with evidence.
