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

Corporal Mark Shawkey, a spokesman for the Anne Arundel County Police
Department, says four teenagers broke into a Maryland gas station early
Wednesday and left a trail of candy bar wrappers along the road.

A police dog located the teens 400 metres away.

Three boys and a girl, ages 15 and 16, were charged with burglary and theft.

They were not named because of their ages.

Shawkey says the teens stole candy, chips and cigars from the B-P station.

Most of the junk food was found scattered around the road where they
were apprehended.
