Dumb and Dumber, Two teens were caught after breaking into Police chief’s house

Two teenager burglars were caught breaking into the home of the town's police chief just days after the area was ranked as one of the safest places to live in the United States.

Conner Hinton, 17, and Taylor Nuttal, 17, from Sugar Land, Texas, broke into the flat of Police Chief Doug Brinkley.

The teenagers were arrested after a neighbour saw them climbing over a fence and called the police.

Another neighbour alerted officers after seeing two suspicious men in a parked vehicle outside her house, and the teenagers also set off an alarm.

Officers found a back door had been forced open and several boards missing from the fence. They arrested the teenagers after finding them in a vehicle nearby.

Hinton and Nuttal are charged with burglary of a habitation and have admitted the offence.
