Apparently this kid was too hungry not to munch on his deliciously illicit, stolen candy bars the moment he left the store. This could have played out differently if he'd waited til he got home.

A greedy candy bar shoplifter doth make an all too easy one to catch...just follow his choco-breath.

Bremerton — It was the odor of chocolate on the suspect's breath that gave away a 15-year-old boy accused of shoplifting candy bars in Bremerton. An officer responding to the shoplifting report Friday night caught up with the suspect on a bicycle.

First he denied taking candy bars, but the officer could smell an odor of chocolate and called witnesses who identified the boy.

He confessed and said he was hungry and did it for the thrill.
