Bread crumbs lead N.C. police to vandals

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (UPI) -- Hansel and Gretel they weren't, but a pair of North Carolina men were busted at the end of their trail of cake crumbs.

The Asheville (N.C.) Citizen-Times reports Zachary Hughes, 24, and Shawn Bubacz, 34, were arrested for allegedly breaking the glass door of the police department and smearing cake on the building. Police said they found the lid to a cake box a few blocks away and learned the suspects had taken a cake following a birthday party at a restaurant.

Detective Aimee Sumner told the newspaper the suspects "had cake icing on them that matched the icing on the door here at the police department" when they were arrested.

Hughes faces charges of possession of stolen goods and property, misdemeanor larceny, injury to real property, misdemeanor conspiracy and misdemeanor attempted breaking and entering. Bubacz is charged with misdemeanor conspiracy and attempted breaking and entering.
