In May to July 1999 four teenage girls from the Kingwood region of Houston, Texas engaged in a robbery spree, robbing four grocery stores and a bakery.[1] These stores were in Harris and Montgomery counties. The girls called themselves the "Queens of Armed Robbery",[2] and bought recreational drugs and body piercings with their money.[3]
Jacqueline Helfgott, author of Criminal Behavior: Theories, Typologies and Criminal Justice, wrote that the fact the perpetrators were girls from upper-middle-class backgrounds meant the crime made news in Greater Houston and throughout the United States. Helfgott stated that despite the girls' use of recreational drugs, their accounts and the accounts of other people cited boredom as the primary reason for the crime.[4]
The film Sugar & Spice is loosely based on the incident.
