MARSHALL TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Three of the four juveniles arrested for trying to break into a gun shop in Marshall Township last Friday had ankle bracelets on, Channel 11 has learned.
The chief said the four boys left the shop in a stolen car, hit a police cruiser, took off, crashed in the woods along Route 910 and then stole another car, crashed that, and ran away.
They were found hours later when the owner of a hair salon called 911 after she saw the boys in the woods nearby, searched them and let them inside as they waited for police.
“Obviously if they had ankle bracelets on, they were involved in something prior to this,” said salon employee Kathy Grayson.
A local criminologist said this leads to a lot of questions.
“If they had ankle bracelets on, they were on for a reason, so the question is who was monitoring these juveniles,” said Dr. John Cencich, a PennWest professor and criminologist. “That supervision should be under a responsible parent or guardian and also by law enforcement or probation agency.”
The four boys were taken into custody and charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, burglary, criminal trespass, auto theft and receiving stolen property.
Two of them were taken to a juvenile facility outside the county and the other two with ankle bracelets were released to their parents.
“There’s a good chance they knew they weren’t being monitored properly. Otherwise, why take the risk to leave and thinking their every move was being monitored,” said Cencich.
Police said this is the second time the gun shop was targeted. It was first broken into on Dec. 23. Nine guns were stolen, including rifles and after these arrests, police said they were able to recover about half of them.
Right now, police are waiting for the results of their DNA and fingerprint analysis to confirm whether the two break-ins at the gunshop are connected.
Formidable woman. Impressive.
Put a small explosive in that ankle bracelet...
Encapsulate a little ring of detcord in the ankle bracelet.
Does ankle jewelry track ongoing movement/locations or just alert upon the breaking of a set area perimeter?
Good idea.
And if the perps get out of line, kaboom 💥! Maybe then they’ll see the error of their ways, but if not, oh well.

The film follows a diamond thief sent to a prison which uses new technology linked explosive neck collars to keep its prisoners from escaping.
These kids need to be out cutting lawns and picking up trash in the hot sun all day. No time to do crime.
What a joke.
There’s a good chance they knew they weren’t being monitored properly.
Even street monkeys figure some things out after a while.
The Saudis have the right idea.
This stuff will end real quick when half the "scholars" and "honor roll students" in the 'hood have stumps where their left hands used to be.
I’m guessing didndunuffins.
great concept, next step to Soylent green riot control and processing
“the other two with ankle bracelets were released to their parents.”
i think i’ve spotted part of the problem ...
The age of the ‘yutes’ is not mentioned. Could well be that the two released to their parents are young enough that they cannot be sent to juvie.
Stepdaughters car was broken into and had something a little usual stolen. Figured they could be caught due to item and sure enough he was caught and had an ankle ring. Then he was tied to 30 other car break ins.
I like the way you think, mister!
