PALM BAY, Fla. (February 20, 2009)--A trail of candy wrappers helped officers find five Florida teenagers suspected of breaking into a nearby home Tuesday, police said.

Officers responded to a burglary report in Palm Bay on Florida's central Atlantic coast.

An officer then followed a trail of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups packages in the backyard.

The officer noticed another wrapper on the front porch of a house near the victim's home.

Officers found several juveniles at the other house.

Police said the teens confessed to the burglary and informed officers that the stolen property was in the attic.

Three of the teenagers face charges of armed burglary and two others face charges of resisting arrest without violence and tampering with evidence.
