In Winneconne, Wisconsin, a teen now faces theft charges after his mother contacted the police about discovering an Xbox 360 and several items in her son’s bedroom.
A police report states that when the mother asked her 16-year-old son about the discovery, he claimed that one of his friends gave the Xbox 360 to him. The mother then reported the finding to authorities on September 18 after that friend knew nothing about the console or other items, according to the Oshkosh Northwestern.
The teen is being held in the Fond du Lac Juvenile Secure Detention Facility for two counts of theft and two counts of criminal trespass to a dwelling.
He revealed to police in questioning that he liked the “rush” experienced when stealing. According to the report, the teen was out of school on suspension for three days and was looking for things to sell.
He started by stealing a laptop computer from a neighbor’s home. The teen’s crime spree of burglaries continued from there, eventually stealing the Xbox 360, as well as a digital camera, two clips from a .17 caliber gun, and eight knives.
