Thomas Arthur Halley, 62, of 802 1/2 W. Burlington Ave., was arrested and charged with second-degree robbery late Monday night in connection with a robbery that took place earlier that day. At approximately 3:30 p.m. Monday, First National Bank, at 100 E. Burlington Ave., was robbed by an unarmed masked man.* The man entered and exited the building through the south door (!!!! so that's where he went wrong!!!)
And I'll bet there was a train whistle blowing at the time too, obviously disorienting him and causing his brain waves to experience ever greater waves of incoherence.
A couple of weeks ago there was another robbery, of a convenience store. Something like 5 or 6 people have been arrested, with still more "people of interest" still to come--for one little store and a few bucks. We must have the most inept robbers in the country.
