Snapchat led investigators to gun theft suspects

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Two of the suspects in the theft of more than 30 firearms from metro Grand Rapids gun stores were busted after Snapchat images surfaced of them holding stolen weapons, according to court records.

Making brief appearances in Kent County District Court Wednesday afternoon were 17-year-old Desiree Taggart, who told police she lives with her mother in Grand Rapids and attends the Covenant House Academy for at-risk students, and 18-year-old Cameron Ellis-Ayers. Both are being charged as adults, which means they each face a decade in prison.

They are the oldest of eight people — the youngest only 13 years old — charged with breaking into two gun stores last month and taking a total of 33 guns, 28 of which are still unaccounted for.
