HOUSTON (AP) -- Four teen-age girls who police say hatched
a crime spree when they found themselves without pocket
money were charged Friday 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 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.'''
Armed with a shotgun, a .22 rifle and semiautomatic pistol,
the hooded and sunglass-wearing robbers struck a bakery, a
grocery store and convenience stores from May 30 to July 10,
police said.
Two would enter a store, with one acting as lookout and the
other handling the cashier, Stephens said. A third was the
getaway driver, he said.
``The one that was in front me kept telling me I had two
minutes to hand over the cash or she was going to shoot me,''
said Cynthia Woodard, a clerk at a convenience store. ``I was
so nervous I threw the money over the bag they held out in
front of me.''
Police were tipped off when the girls began bragging,
Stephens said.
``It was brought to our attention that they were going to
parties, really bragging up a storm,'' he said.
The girls are free on bond and face a hearing Sept. 2.
