Alleged store robber leaves his W-2 form
DES MOINES, Iowa -- The robber of a convenience store left behind an unusual clue -- a W-2 form. The man robbed a Git-N-Go store in Des Moines early Friday after telling a clerk he had a gun. He left the store with about $115 but at some point took off his hat and jacket.
When police responded, they found the tax form in the coat pocket.
Officers checked the name on the form and found a listing for a 25-year-old with a suspended driver's license who is on probation for theft. The man's description matched information provided by the clerk.
Police are still looking for the robber.
