Teens rob school for video game money
OK, we’ll confess that we used to steal money from our parents so we could head over to the local mini-golf place and play Xevious and Q-Bert. But we didn’t have to crack a safe in order to do it.
Cameras caught the students from Bellingham, Mass., spending 20 minutes using a knife to pry open a classroom door. Inside, a safe contained $800 in student funds, which were raised through local fundraisers for class trips or donated by parents, MyFoxBoston reports.
The suspects used a blow torch to burn off the safe’s lock. With all the cash in hand, cameras show the teens, wearing ski masks and rubber gloves to conceal their identities and fingerprints, running out of the building, MyFoxBoston reports.
Police report $700 of the stolen funds has been recovered. The rest of the money allegedly was spent on Chinese food and video games, MyFoxBoston reports.
Here’s the video of the perps in action. Listen for the reporter say it’s, “something straight out of CSI.” Uh, nice try, dude, but we don’t believe anybody was found dead at the scene. Perhaps “Simon & Simon” would be a more apt comparison.
