"Underwear not disguise enough for robber"

Odd News:

"Underwear not disguise enough for robber"

(UPI) -- An alleged robber's disguise -- women's panties -- wasn't enough to keep witnesses from identifying him, leading to an arrest by Indiana police, officials said.

A man brandishing a large knife and covering his face with underwear robbed a convenience store in Franklin, Ind. Monday. He made off with cash, cigarettes and a lighter, WRTV, Indianapolis reported Wednesday.

Despite the disguise, both a customer and the station clerk were able to give police a description of the robber detailed enough to lead police to set up surveillance around a Franklin home.

Officers spotted Larry Bernard stumbling and intoxicated with a 12-inch knife in his waistband, Franklin Police Lt Chris Tennell said.

Panties, cash, cigarettes and a lighter matching the stolen one were found in his pockets, police said.

Bernard was taken to Johnson County Jail and held on $21,000 bond, WRTV reported.

"Shoplifter commits theft number 321"

(UPI) -- A serial shoplifter from North Wales who has served the equivalent of two life sentences was jailed after committing theft No. 321, British police say.

David Archer, 54, spent Saturday in jail after admitting in court he shoplifted two bottles of whiskey. He also spent Christmas Day in jail, as he has 14 of the past 15 years, The Observer reported Sunday.

He has been called "Britain's worst shoplifter."

The prosecutor, David Mainstone, referred to Archer's previous 155 court appearances, saying he had a "quite horrendous" list of offenses, including stealing money put in boxes for charities.
