Cops: Suspect stopped for chicken-and-biscuits after heist
NEW KENSINGTON (AP) – Police arrested a Western Pennsylvania bank robbery suspect when he stopped for chicken-and-biscuits at a restaurant two blocks away.
Online court records don’t list an attorney for 32-year-old Shane Lindsey who was arrested Wednesday about 20 minutes after he allegedly robbed the Citizens Bank in downtown New Kensington.
Police said witnesses saw a bald man matching Lindsey’s description run toward a restaurant after the heist. Police knew the business had surveillance video and went inside to view it hoping for clues as to where the suspect went – only to find Lindsey eating at a booth.
Police say the video showed the robbery suspect run past the restaurant and then pause before coming back and going inside. Lindsey was staying in a nearby halfway house.
