Lanyards help catch deli robber

Chicago – City police arrested a 19-year old male late last night in connection with the deli robbery on Lowe Ave. According to Detective Lt. Jackson, the robber who was not identified by name, was under the influence and made several vital mistakes, leading to his arrest. He was caught only one block from the crime scene.
Around 10 p.m. the deli owner and several customers were threatened when an armed robber entered the store. He was carrying a hunting knife, which he violently waved around. Holding the knife to the owner’s chest, and threatening to kill the man, he forced everyone, including the owner, to sit in the back corner of the store. He then asked a mother, who was holding her two year old daughter to collect everyone’s cell phone and put them in his backpack. When the child shifted and started to cry the robber did not notice that the woman had accidently dropped one of the phones.
An employee from a nearby law firm, who had come in to buy corn beef sandwiches, recognized his phone. While lying on the floor, as ordered to by the robber, he motioned to his two co-workers that he needed their security card lanyards. Once they were in his possession he attached them to his own. The makeshift string was long enough to loop around the phone and pull it closer. The recovery went smoothly and did not attract the attention of the robber, who was too busy emptying the cash register, grabbing pre-packed sandwiches from the cooler, and dismantling the store’s phone.
While the robber was distracted, the law firm employee dialed 911 and whispered “help”. A police car patrolling the area was dispatched and caught the robber as he was leaving the store with his loot.
The deli reopened shortly after the investigation was concluded. All goods and cash were returned.
