Move over Joker, Captain Cold and the Riddler. There is a new menace in town. It’s The Bicycle Robber! Hide you dough, hide your drawer and lock your drive-through window!
Police in Connecticut said the Bicycle-Riding Robber (a.k.a. Vernon Lewis) hit up the drive-through at the local Dunkin’ Donuts on East Mains Street. He apparently threatened the drive-through attendant, got the cash register drawer (with the dough in it) then proceeded to peddle away, forgetting his box of 12 hot glazed donuts!
As you can expect every police officer in Connecticut was on the lookout for B.R.R. (a.k.a. Vernon)
The forensic team was called in and quickly figured out that Lewis was late on his book returns at the public library. A short time later that’s exactly where he was found carrying $321 cash! After a few hot cups of coffee and a good laugh, the Dunkin’ Donuts employees positively identified Lewis as the real Connecticut Bicycle-Riding Robber. As they took him away in cuffs Vernon said, “I would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for my bad peddling kids!” Zoinks!
Lewis is most famous for his 45 other arrests for robbery and was charged with first-degree robbery, second-degree larceny, second-degree threatening, interfering with police, brandishing a facsimile firearm and fu****g up 13 police officers donut break.
