While committing a crime, it is wise to select a fast yet unobtrusive getaway vehicle. This thought appears to have never crossed the mind of a teen armed robber in Miami.
Miami police said a resident flagged officers down and said someone had been robbed by a teenage boy with a shotgun on a bicycle in the early-morning hours.
Officers stopped a teenager with a shotgun on a bike near 58th Street and Northwest 14th Avenue. After a confrontation, a Miami police officer and an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer both opened fire, shooting the teen, according to police.
The economy must be really bad when not even cars are available be stolen and you are forced to use “green” transportation to do your dirty deeds.
Obviously it didn’t take long for the police to spot their guy. Maybe the perp thought to himself – “No one will notice my shoty if I pedal fast enough” – doh! I wonder how many criminals opt to use rail services as their getaway…that’s “green” too I suppose.
