Police follow tracks in the snow to make arrest
December 12, 2008
JOLIET, Ill. – Robbers might think twice about committing a crime when there’s snow on the ground. Or at least not head right home.
That’s the lesson after Joliet police followed footprints from where a pizza delivery man was robbed to a house on the same block and arrested four teens late Tuesday.
Police say two teens waited on a porch for the pizza man and the two others – one holding a bat – approached him.
Police Chief Patrick Kerr says the pizza man turned over pizzas, sodas and $200.
Police say an officer followed the tracks to the house and found two pizza boxes, the pizza man’s debit card and a baseball bat.
