You didn’t have to be Nancy Drew to solve this case. Even The Simpsons’ Chief Wiggum would have nabbed these inept criminals.
Four burglars in Cincinnati, the home of Major League Baseball’s Reds, were caught red-handed after robbing a candy store.
Unable to wait to get back to their “hideout” before ripping into their stolen goods, it seems the greedy gluttons did their best Hansel and Gretel imitation and left behind a trail of empty candy wrappers. The local authorities followed the litter trail and nabbed the sweet-toothed scofflaws.
There is one sad side note. One of the perps carried her seven-week-old infant with her on the heist. They took the baby out of the stroller and loaded the carriage down with about $400 worth of candy before leaving the store.
