Texas State Students Immediately Arrested For Really Wicked Halloween Heist

At approximately 1 a.m. on Friday, the police received a call that Halloween- themed decorations had been stolen and that the criminals were clearly visible committing the crime on video.
By having the video of the crime, the police were able to identify the getaway vehicle as a silver Ford F-150.

All of the suspects were wearing masks, and they were between the ages of 18 and 20 years old.
All ten of the students confessed the crime stating that they had all traveled to the town with on purpose in mind. They wanted to steal Halloween decorations. Chief of Police Jeff Barnett said, "The residents of Kyle deserve to celebrate holidays in a safe and joyful environment. We are committed to keeping our neighborhoods safe and ensuring that this upcoming holiday season remains a time of fun and happiness for everyone.”
The police found scissors, marijuana, alcohol, and a fake ID along with the stolen decorations. The thieves have been charged with engaging in organized criminal activity, criminal mischief and theft of property. One of the miscreants has been charged with possession of a controlled substance and another one of the troublemakers was charged with possession of a fake ID.
