Armed Robbery Part 2

...It is amazing that the police were able to capture the robber. He had jumped out of the getaway car, run to a bus stop, and actually gotten onto a public bus before the police located the getaway car! However, witnesses had seen him flee and when the police pulled over the getaway car they were told what the robber had done. Upon receiving a description of the bus, the police were able to chase it down and pull it over. Four officers stormed onto the bus and arrested the robber; I’m sure that the other riders were quite surprised!

The police searched the car and found the black scarf which the robber had worn under the front seat, and they also found the robber’s hat which he had tried to hide in the glove box. We were along a very busy road this whole time. Four police cars, a dozen police, a junker of a get-away vehicle, two Americans (one of them still in his PJs), and two young guys under arrest attracted plenty of stares. I did plenty of staring myself; cops and robbers make me very curious.

Some police retraced the route that the robber took when he jumped from the car, and they found Steve’s sopping wet wallet which had been thrown into a sewer. The approximately $60 cash that had been in the wallet were missing, but the robber hadn’t taken Steve’s credit card. The cash and the gun were never found, so it is possible that either there had been a third person in the getaway car who ended up not getting caught or that the robber threw the gun in a bush or something like that.

I wish that I had time to tell you what happened next, but I need to do a translation assignment so I will have to tell the rest of my story later. Don’t worry, there is plenty more to tell.
