Kids Paid For Stolen Goods With Tattoos
A California man has been arrested in connection with a burglary operation where he allegedly paid two juveniles for stolen property with tattoos.
Sacramento police said Eugene Eaton, 20, was arrested on charges of violation of probation, tattooing subjects under 18 years of age, and for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
According to Capt. Daniel Hahn, an 11-year-old and a 13-year-old were arrested on burglary charges. Investigators then did a follow-up on the burglaries at Willow Glen Apartments in North Natomas, where Eaton lives.
Hahn said police found several laptops, video cameras and other items at Eaton's home, including tattooing equipment.
"This is not the first time we've seen teenagers stealing things. But this has to be the first time we've seen them stealing in exchange for tattoos," Hahn said.
