From Chicago, crime news:

Two charged with robbery after pausing getaway to grab McDonald’s on the victim’s credit card.

No, really:

Last Sunday evening, November 17, a 28-year-old man told police that two people pinned him against a fence at 31st Street and King Drive while a third went through his pockets and took his wallet, according to a Chicago police report.

While the victim spoke with officers, he received an email notification that one of his stolen credit cards was being used at a McDonald’s. Knowing there was a “golden arches” on the corner of 35th and Indiana, the cops headed that way to see if they could find any suspects, the report said.

Happily, the hunch paid off:

As they pulled up, the officers noticed three people boarding a CTA bus who matched the descriptions provided by the victim… The cops said they pulled the bus over, and those three people fled out the back door. All three were detained nearby.

Justin Bradley and Marshawn Sampson, both 18-year-olds, face charges of robbery.
