Four teens have been arrested after they used a stolen camcorder to make a nearly three-minute video of themselves counting stolen cash, wearing stolen jewelry, sitting in a stolen car and bragging about their thefts, detectives said.
Police officers recovered the stolen items, including the camcorder, after the suspects crashed the stolen vehicle in Fort Lauderdale and subsequently ditched it, leaving behind the stolen items and the video, said Dani Moschella, Broward Sheriff's Office spokeswoman.
The officers tracked the items to residential burglaries in Boca Raton and Oakland Park, Moschella said. Broward Sheriff's Office detectives in Oakland Park saw the video and recognized each burglar.
