From Times Wire Reports
It wasn’t tough for police in Columbus, Miss., to thwart two would-be Grinches -- they just followed the wrapping paper.
Two unidentified boys, 14 and 12, were charged with burglary after they were accused of stealing Christmas presents from a house, police said.
Police followed a trail of paper, ribbons and gift tags that led them to one boy’s home. The gifts -- which included an E-Z Bake oven, Lego and a Pac-Man video game -- were returned.
