Trail of stolen lollies leads police to alleged teen robbers
A trail of stolen confectionary has led police to four teenage boys accused of robbing two service stations in Adelaide.
Authorities said one of the offenders threatened staff with scissors during the robberies at Unley and Glenside.
CCTV captured four teenage boys on King William Road about 3am, just before before the On the Run service station at Unley was targeted.
They allegedly stole a carton of cigarettes and chocolate bars.

Half an hour later, police said they targeted another On the Run on Greenhill Road at Glenside.
They reportedly threatened a console operator with a pair of scissors, snatched one packet of cigarettes, a bunch of lighters and handfuls of chocolate bars and lollies.
The trail of confectionary and lighters was tracked by officers who caught two of the suspects nearby.
Police dog Marley caught up with the other two at Pine Close at Glenside.
Three of the boys - aged between fifteen and seventeen - faced court today.
Two were granted bail.
The third - who prosecutors say had the pair of scissors - was remanded in custody.
The fourth boy was given police bail and will appear in court at later date.
