Teens Rob Bayside Open Pantry Sunday Night

Officers find a half box of candy bars and potentially stolen clothes in the getaway car.

The was the scene of Sunday night, just before 10 p.m. when three juveniles tried to rob the store.

According to the report:

Two teens came into the store and an employee asked if he could help them find anything. One of the suspects said "Symphony candy bars." Instantly, one of them grabbed a box of King Size Reeses Peanut Butter Cups (the box was about ½ full and has a retail value $20 to $30), and they ran out the door to a maroon van. They didn't imply they had any weapons, they didn't make any threats, and they were only in the store for about 45 seconds, an Open Pantry employee told Fox Point police.
