According to Fox, investigators in Bristow, Oklahoma, were working Monday to identify a man who stole more than $75,000 from a local Wal-Mart after disguising himself as an armored truck driver.
Bristow Police Chief Wayne Williams said, “Authorities in northeast Oklahoma have received some anonymous tips about the identity of the man whose image by a video surveillance. We’ve got some calls out on it, but nothing yet.”
So how did this Houdini pull the heist off? Well, quite simple: he walked out the front door. Authorities say the suspect entered the Wal-Mart store in Bristow about 10:30 a.m. Saturday, walked to the cash office, signed for the deposit and walked out of the store, and then casually drove away in a dark four-door Chevrolet. Quick, easy, painless — like a bandaid. A $75,000 bandaid. “He came to the Wal-Mart kind of dressed like a Loomis armored car driver,” said Police Chief Williams said. However, the clearly ingenious Wal-Mart employees decided to call the police after the real Loomis employee arrived about 45 minutes later. HA. And these people want minimum wage to be $15. Give me a f*cking break.
Details are scarce, but so far, the authorities have “no evidence the suspect may have once worked for an armored transportation service and was familiar with its procedures.”
Hey, ya know, robbery is bad. But making literally the world’s cooperation look like an army of clowns? Priceless, and definitely worth it.
