From WCAU-TV DREXEL HILL, Penn. -- If you were going to commit a robbery, would you videotape it? Two Pennsylvania teens thought it was a good idea and now that “eureka” moment has landed them behind bars.
The duo allegedly went on a stealing spree hitting five homes in Upper Darby Township in Pennsylvania.
The 15- and 16-year-old boys swiped wrapped Christmas presents, electronics, and even food from the refrigerator, all while providing color commentary.
"Christmas came early for us today," said one teen as they looted hidden presents.
Police nabbed the teens after an alarm system inside the last house they entered tripped.
They found the camera and the footage on the teens during a search, police said.
"When you see the videotape, they think it's a joke," Upper Darby Police Superintendent. Michael Chitwood said.
When asked why they recorded the crimes, the teens said they were promoting themselves as "cult fictional heroes," according to Chitwood.
"They do this thing because they have something to show their friends," Chitwood said.
