Teenagers Pull Off a Chewing Gum Heist
Two teenagers stole $36,000 worth of chewing gum, taking seven pallets during their heist. This unusual crime occurred when the young men, identified as Elias Benek and Keon Sanderson, were caught shortly after the theft and arrested by the police. Rather than facing severe penalties, they received a sentence of 150 hours of community service, highlighting how their crime might not be seen as serious compared to more significant offenses. The incident brings into question the definition of food and whether chewing gum qualifies, sparking a playful debate about its classification.
