habu2 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 You can't make this stuff up!!! from http://dpdbeat.com/2015/10/08/cop-foils-donut-shop-robbery/ and http://crimeblog.dallasnews.com/2015/10/off-duty-dallas-officer-pulls-up-to-doughnut-shop-moments-before-robbery.html/ (this link also has a video) On October 8, 2015, at approximately 7:30 a.m., off – duty Dallas Police Officer Christopher Berry, #10668, was in full police uniform traveling to an off- duty job when he stopped at the Joy Donut shop located at 3502 Simpson Stuart Road. Officer Berry parked but before exiting his vehicle he observed two males, both wearing black wool hoods pulled over their faces and white socks pulled over their hands, hiding at the edge of the building and peering into the donut shop.Suspecting that a robbery was about to occur, Officer Berry remained in his vehicle and observed both suspects enter the business. One suspect stole one cash register from the counter while the second suspect attempted to steal the second register from the counter. The owner of the business intervened to prevent the second suspect from stealing the second cash register. A struggle over the cash register ensued during which the second suspect assaulted the business owner. While the suspects were inside the business, Officer Berry moved to a tactically safe position behind his vehicle and continued to observe the offense. When the suspects fled out of the front door of the business, Officer Berry made his presence known by giving the loud verbal command “Dallas Police stop”. One suspect continued fleeing with a cash register and is at large. The second suspect obeyed officer Berry’s commands and was arrested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This happens a lot more than gets reported. Some friends of mine told me of an incident in North Las Vegas at a bar where the cops are known to frequent; two gunmen entered the bar checked the place out and after about 10 minutes or so made their intentions known, and produced handguns at which time, they were advised by the bartender to look behind them, to which one replied, this ain't TV we're not going to fall for that, at which time the cops with their sidearms aimed at the two luckless morons said that's too bad if it was TV you would have a chance of getting away. The two would be robbers turned to see approx 10-12 cops pointing their weapons at them; distracted by this they missed the other off duty officers pulling their sidearms....needless to say those fellas spent the night and a few more in Clark county/Nevada state jails. That's probably not the exact way it happened, but by the time I heard it; that's the way it went down. IMO it's close enough to know what happened. Maybe some of the ARC'ers in Vegas could verify the story and the account of what happened. Edited December 14, 2015 by #1 Greywolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Sorry, that was not a foiled robbery. One of the perps was indeed apprehended but the robbery was successfull as the other suspect with the cash register is at large.
