The latest Bonnie and Clyde clones have been captured alive and, like other misguided juvenile delinquents before them, not only have the police to answer to now, but angry parents as well.
The week-long crime spree of Rose May and Triston Kindle -- 15 and 16 respectively -- ended in their vain attempt to swim across the Ohio River, with an army of law enforcement officers in hot pursuit.
The young fugitives from justice turned back when they realized the impossible folly of a river crossing, which, frankly, is about the only sensible decision the teen couple has made since embarking on their brief career in crime.
Baby-faced May and Kindle had been on the run and simultaneously lawbreaking for six solid days in a row, and, in the process, racking up a bevy of criminal counts that could see them more than just “grounded” as a result.
Those offenses stretched across two U.S. states and include armed robbery, assaulting a patrolman, and grand theft auto.
West Virginia’s state police and the Elizabeth Police Department were instrumental in finally catching the Bonnie and Clyde clones over the weekend, doing so without harming the pair of youthful offenders.
“We would like to thank everyone that helped with the search yesterday,” the EPD has posted on their Facebook page. “The community and region really came together to not only show support for our officers, but to assist with trying to apprehend the two suspects.”
