Armed Men Steal Whiskey, Potato Chips From Pedestrians in St. Louis

[Sherman A1]

St. Louis police are investigating two separate overnight armed robberies in which suspects made off with nothing more than a bag of potato chips and a bottle of whiskey.

According to police reports, the first incident happened around 12:15 a.m. near the intersection of Oakland and Taylor. The 43-year-old victim tells police that he was walking in the area when he was approached by two suspects who pulled a gun and demanded he empty his pockets.

When the victim pulled his pockets out, revealing only loose change and some cigarettes, the apparently hungry suspects allegedly took the bag of potato chips the man was holding before fleeing the scene.
