Robber returns for directions
Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2005 9:08 pm
An armed robber held up a petrol station in the US and then went back to ask for directions.
The 22-year-old man, from Vancouver, Washington state, got away with cash after holding up staff at knifepoint.
The robber took off in a red Honda car and police from four towns gave chase, reports the Kitsap Sun.
After a 100 mph chase through winding roads, the man lost his pursuers but had no idea where he was.
He pulled into a petrol station to ask directions to Seattle, unaware it was the same one he'd just robbed.
Attendants alerted police who caught up with the man and arrested him soon afterwards.
