“Our deputies, detectives, and RTCC analysts continue to work tirelessly to track down those who think they can victimize our community,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “Whether it’s local teens breaking into cars or suspects crossing county lines to commit crimes, we will identify you, arrest you, and hold you accountable. Great work by our team and partner agencies for quickly solving these cases and getting them off the streets. Parents need to be the sheriffs in their homes and teach their kids that breaking into cars and stealing is illegal and has real consequences, as these teenagers found out the hard way. They are now facing a host of felonies. Parents talk to their children about the consequences of their actions, or we will when we arrest them. Also, remember to lock your cars and never leave keys or valuables, especially guns, visible or unsecured in your cars.”
These kids are stealing for money for drugs?? I think if the reason for all this thievery is determined, perhaps they can be helped to get off drugs or if they just want some money perhaps they can work for the city cleaning public buildings or outdoors??? Dog walking at the local animal shelters??
Yet, I think a mayor in NJ once tried and was forced to stop with the court calling it involuntary servitude.
I hate to see young people arrested…. it ruins the rest of their lives.
I also think anyone who leaves guns, marijuana, money and other valuables in their car are just asking for trouble. Leaving guns in your car is irresponsible and just plain stupid! What were they thinking! That is not responsible gun ownership!
Time to arrest parents and hold them accountable. These kids are underage.
