Murfreesboro Police arrested four teens Saturday for allegedly breaking into cars near Blackman High School.

Treat Edward Luton, 18, of Kody Court, Viegphonthone Patrik Syvilayvong, 18, of Bethany Circle, Jesse James Helton, 18, of Kody Court, and a juvenile were arrested after a traffic stop revealed stolen loot inside their car.

When a complaint was called in about car burglaries in the area, MPD Officer Jacob Lamb responded to Pantera Drive near Blackman High School. A witness had reported four subjects leaving the scene of a burglary in a maroon station wagon.

Been Caught Stealing...what kind of headline/story title is that? Maybe it was supposed to read Teens Caught Stealing?!?

I agree. That's the 3rd typo in just two pages. Spell check does not catch everything!

It's a song title. Not a typo. That's called an allusion, defined as a figure of speech that makes a reference to, or representation of, a place, event, literary work, myth, or work of art.
