Workers Trick Dim-Witted, Stamina-Impaired Robber

A robber attempted to rob Old English Pizza in Oxford Circle last night around 9:30 p.m. Only problem: He’s apparently been eating nothing but pizza for the past few years, judging by how it went down.

It all started when the suspect went into the pizza shop, asked for a pizza, then demanded all the money in the cash register. The woman at the front, store manager Demetra Tsiakanikas, told him he’s making a mistake. She then proceeded to tell him there was a cop in the back.

The man decided he believed her and ran out of the store. At this point, the juvenile robber was chased and caught after a few blocks by a pizza worker — several of them chased him — and then the police. But, hey, he almost got a full day’s worth of pizza earnings without having to do any work for it! That should make him feel better for being outwitted and outran by a pizza parlor staff.
