CLEARWATER, Fla. - Over the July 4th holiday weekend crooks broke into the Boys and Girls Club in Clearwater, helping themselves to electronics and food.

The Thieves stole two 32' inch flatscreen televisions, computers and two Wii game consoles.

They got away with $5,000 worth of property.

More than one hundred campers from the North Greenwood Club are affected by the crime.

Jessica Krouse grew up going the summer camps at the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Suncoast. She is a teen counselor now, helping kids grow into young adults.

 "I was shocked i can't even explain it," Krouse said.

Kids used the computers for educational purposes.

"We did learning, reading and math," she said.

The crooks were able to get the items out of the building and over a fence the stands ten feet tall.

While the crooks were busy stoling from the campers, they also ate food that belonged to the campers.
