Robbers Get a Taste of Their Own Medicine
Three armed robbers in Colorado got a taste of their own medicine when their getaway car got stolen midway through a heist on Saturday. The Commerce City Police Department said in a statement on Saturday that “three armed and masked individuals” robbed a check-cashing business, Hi Lo Check Cashing, in the 7200 block of Monaco just before 11 am.
In an unexpected and ironic twist, as the trio was robbing the business, a fourth criminal stole their getaway vehicle, which may have already been stolen. The police department said that they will release more information in due course.
Investigation and Arrest
The Commerce City Police Department has detained two of the three armed robbery suspects. The investigation is ongoing, and the police department is relieved that no one was injured.
Surprise and Humor on Social Media
The police department’s account of the events sparked surprise and humor on social media, with many finding the situation both hilarious and unexpected. One Facebook user commented on the statement, saying, “What a plot twist.” The police department humorously replied, “We can’t make this stuff up.”
The Commerce City Police Department has not yet responded to requests for comment outside regular business hours.
