Trail of beer crumbs

This trio of beer thieves really helped the police on this case.

Three teens who are in no danger of winning any IQ awards, were arrested last Monday in Halifax, North Carolina for theft of beer.

The three anti-braniacs allegedly broke into a nearby store taking a cash register and two cases of beer. No word on what type of beer, but judging from the demographic, I am guessing something cheap.

Robberies happen all the time, but what lands Justin Barnes, 18, Joshua Fisher, 19, and Jacob Daniels, 18, into the beer nut category is how they were caught.

Rule one of theft: never return to the scene of the crime. They actually didn’t get the chance to break this rule. Rule two of theft: never leave a trail of beer cans from the scene of the crime to your location. Guess which rule they broke?

Apparently the trio drinks fairly quickly; quick enough to leave a trail of empty beer cans from the scene of the crime to a wooded area near the store and one of the boy’s residences. I’m sure even Inspector Clouseau could follow a trail of beer cans, which is exactly what the police did.

The trio were charged with breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering, possession of stolen goods and damage to real property. Too bad stupidity isn’t a crime.
