PASADENA, Md. - Doctors often warn of the health risks of eating junk food, but it seems the treats can be a problem for burglars, too.

Four teenagers broke into a gas station early Wednesday and left a trail of candy bar wrappers along the road as they left, said Cpl. Mark Shawkey, a spokesman for the Anne Arundel County Police Department. A police dog located the teens a quarter-mile away.

"Never heard of a K-9 having that extra help in completing a track," Shawkey said.

Three boys and a girl, ages 15 and 16, were charged with burglary and theft. They were not named because of their ages.

Shawkey said the teens stole candy, chips and cigars from the BP station. Most of the junk food was found scattered around the road where they were apprehended.

This is one time that littering will get them jail time!

Wow! Brilliant youngsters. LMAO, they got what they deserved.

Ya real wunder kinders this bunch turned out to be!

Hahaha How stupid can kids be?

Having a sweet tooth certainly got them into trouble.

i disagree in every way that they should not have their names known, if teenagers are going to bash or steal or whatever they do wrong their names should be known, what if they do it again and get away with it because people did not know what they had done in the past. its is pathetic!
