CANDLE THEFT RING BUSTED

A crew that police said is responsible for the theft of nearly $32,000 worth of candles in Fairfax County, Virginia, has been shut down and its three members arrested. The string of candle thefts began Feb. 10, when three individuals entered a Bath and Body Works and stole more than $1,800 worth of candles, driving off before police arrived. That same location was hit eight more times over the following months. Another Bath and Body Works location was hit five times as part of the spree. In most of the thefts, the group made off with at least $1,000 in stolen candles, although in one instance, police said they nabbed more than $4,300 worth of candles.
* So… about 20 candles total?
* I mean, have you seen the price of candles? Talk about money to burn.
* It took three months to catch them. A police dog could have tracked them down in five minutes.
* I guess those detectives don’t believe in burning the candle at both ends.
* You know who they should have called? John Wick.
* You start stealing candles, and before you know it you’ve moved up to incense and dream catchers.
