Robber Is Caught Red-Handed by Cop after He Steals Poor 91-Year-Old Lady’s Money — Story of the Day

A cruel man robs a 91-year-old woman of her money but is outwitted by a police officer who captures him red-handed and he had no clue!

Alice would never do something like that!” he thought.

However, to diffuse the whole situation, he secretly slid two dollar bills on the counter and told Alice to clear off Mrs. Morris’s bill. Then he escorted the older woman out of the store, his mind still lingering as to why Mrs. Morris was facing this problem every time.
