Police in Georgia recently busted a gang of thieves . . . by following a TRAIL OF CANDY WRAPPERS.
Nine bandits have been accused of burglarizing multiple homes and vehicles between in early October . . . about a half-hour outside of Atlanta.
The thieves hiked through wooded areas to sneak into properties and cars . . . make getaways . . . and stash items that they stole until they could take them elsewhere. But that was also their undoing.
One of the items they stole was a bag of miniature Milky Way bars, which one of the thieves was apparently snacking on while they were making their way through the woods. They left a trail of wrappers, and the cops followed it to their house.
The police have arrested nine thieves . . . but the investigation is still ongoing so more arrests are possible. The suspects were hit with various charges, including burglary and drug possession.
