Police in Palm Bay, Fla., arrested seven teens in the last several days wanted in connection with a series of home break-ins that were apparently committed because the group wanted an "adrenaline rush," according to a police report.

 

David Deluna, 18, Matt Rivera, 19, and a 16-year-old were charged with grand theft and burglary charges Monday. Another four suspects were taken into custody and charged on Friday, Local 6 News partner Florida Today reported.

 

"When these three realized that we were looking for them on Friday, they left together and went to the beach," said Jesse Suelter, a Palm Bay detective working on the case. "We arrested one on Saturday and found the other two sleeping at their residences today."

 

Police said the seven teens knew each other from work and school. All came from upper middle class homes but told authorities they carried out the crimes for "an adrenaline rush," Suelter told Florida Today.

 

The teens randomly picked homes to break into during the day and early evening, Suelter said. In one home they stole a gun. In others, cash, electronics and jewelry were taken.

 

He also said the teens would ring doorbells and if they did not get an answer they would kick in the doors.

 

"The suspects were very arrogant and the attitude they had was unbelievable. I explained the possibility that one of them could get hurt or shot. One of them told us that he was a big boy and that 'I think I could take 'em,' " Suelter said.

Wrong.

ok, how many folks' preferred home defense weapon has 7 or more rounds loaded right now?

almost no shotguns would, unless you have a USAS-12 or maybe spas-12 (though those have spring issues on the last round). needless to say revolvers are out.

Hmm. My Dad and I were laughing about people from my hometown getting a thrill out of going to Canada to drink for spring break. I guess it's better than some alternatives.

They'll be getting a major rush in prison!

Tie them all to posts and let me at them with my whip and I'll give them an adrenaline rush they won't soon forget!

[BunnySlippers]

Just like those two kids in Vermont who killed the college proffesors from Germany. Doing it to see what it felt like.

[Fruitbat]

Woe if it were my son!

Then again, my son wouldn't do that.

Great parenting!!

[i.l.e.]

Concealed carry isntructors adamantly recommend to shoot to kill the kids trying to crawl through the window or enter the door. Then drag them into the house. One opinion is better than two.

Everyone who is eligible to own a gun should buy one and learn how to use it. An ax works too, but not unless you are physically fit, quick, and don't mind the mess.

Let's see the adrenaline rush when they're introduced to the "joy of bustin' rocks."

BOOK 'EM, DANNO!!!!!

[Sloth]

They're luck they didn't get a "lead rush"

[SQUID]

This is why one needs to keep their child busy with sports, academics, family you name it. Boredom is the killer.

Man, I ask the authorities if I could have a moment alone with my son before they take him...so I can "talk" to him and "explain" why his decision was bad.

[School of Rational Thought]

Couldn't anyone come up with seven rounds?

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

I wonder what type of 'Adrenaline Rush' they will get once they are in the showers in prison...tsk tsk tsk....
