WATCH: How a case of “long time no see” may have averted a robbery in Colorado
According to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, a masked man walked into the Quick Save in Wheat Ridge, Colorado Tuesday afternoon, allegedly with the intent to hold up the store.
How do they know? Because that’s what he told the store’s clerk – after he recognized him.
ABC-7 News in Denver reports the store clerk said the suspect looked at him and said, “(Expletive), I was going to rob this place, but I know you!”
Surveillance cameras captured the darkly humorous moment the would-be robber recognized the store clerk – and aborted his robbery mid-attempt.
So, crime averted, right? Well not so fast – police say that shortly after this “reunion” between old acquaintances, a nearby 7-Eleven was robbed by a man fitting the exact same description as this near-thief.
Police are appealing to the public for any leads in tracking down the attempted robbery suspect.
We might suggest they take a close look at the friends and acquaintances of a certain convenience store clerk.
