CPD caught three #teens burgling a 16th Ave house, and punked them into admitting to a spree of off-campuses break-ins. 

From Chelsea Spears of The Lantern:

The quartet had already robbed at least five off-campus homes and gotten away with it before they tried to rob a sixth, Columbus Division of Police Commander Christopher Bowling said. But it was during this sixth attempted robbery when the bandits were caught red-handed.

“The next thing we know is we’ve got at least one burglary, which multiplied up to at at least six,” Bowling said. “Whether there are more or not, I don’t know.”

An 18-year-old, a 19-year-old, an ancient 20-year-old, and a minor have all been charged in connection with the petty crime spree.

This concludes your monthly "lock your doors and windows" PSA to off-campus residents.
