Facebook BurglaryFacebook Burglary, Pittsburgh police said they arrested three teenagers in connection with a store burglary in Elliot on Dec. 12. Investigators said the teenagers burglarized Elliot’s Town Market on Chartiers Avenue, stealing cigarettes, cigars, checks and $8,000.

Police said a 17-year-old and two 14-year-olds were caught after photos of the stolen items surfaced on the social networking website Facebook.

Pittsburgh police said they are still searching for a fourth person involved, 18-year-old Isaiah Cutler.

Sunny Singh, the store’s manager, said he recognized the four suspects because they often stood outside the store. He said he saw one of the boys the day after the robbery.

“I saw him after the robbery the next day,” Singh said. “He was standing outside. He had new shoes and new clothes.”

Authorities said the juveniles likely will not face jail time because they were cooperative and don’t have a criminal history.
