HOUSTON (AP) -- Four teenage girls who police say hatched a crime spree when they found themselves without pocket money have been charged with five armed robberies.
All four girls are middle-class high school students or recent graduates in suburban Kingwood."That's not the typical profile of an aggravated robbery suspect," said Capt. Steve Smith.
Authorities Friday charged Katie Marie Dunn, Malissa Chalerm Warzeka, both 17, and Michelle Renee Morneau, 18, with one count each of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. A 16-year-old female, whose identity was not released because of her age, was charged with two counts of aggravated robbery.
"They were sitting at a Sonic restaurant, and ran out of money and said 'Let's do a robbery,' " said Billy Stephens, a police spokesman. "One of them said 'I've got a gun' and another said 'I've got a mask.' "
