Illinois Police Arrest Three Teens Armed With Bear Spray On Shoplifting Spree
It happens way too many times in our state. Some young kids in Illinois take the wrong path and hang out with bad influences. They make terrible decisions under peer pressure, and they end up ruining their lives because they weren't thinking. I really hate seeing this happen to teens. Here is the perfect example of this happening recently.

According to Fox 32 Chicago...
Three Chicago teenagers have been ordered to remain in custody after allegedly stealing thousands of dollars in merchandise from three Oak Brook stores Sunday while carrying bear spray.
Three teens spent the Sunday afternoon at Oak Brook Shopping Mall, which by the way, is a really nice place. The trio wasn't actually shopping. Instead, they went on a shoplifting spree. If anyone tried to stop them, they were prepared by being armed with bear spray.
The suspects started at a place named Alo. There, they stole 16 items valued at $1,900. Next up was Victoria's Secret, where they made off with 24 things worth $541. The final stop on their shoplifting tour was Macy's. At that store, they took 6 articles of clothing that cost $1965. Not a bad little run while it lasted. When they exited the last business, the local police were outside waiting for them. Of course, they got arrested.
