Stoned or Stupid

A 24 year old man robbed a convenience store in England with 12 inch knife,not that unusual of a happening so far,but how about this for a twist on the armed robbery scenario? How about if the robber just happened to pick the store where his ex-mother-in-law was working? You would think he would have realized it was a bad idea and went to a different location,but no one ever accused criminals of being particularly clever,at least not this one. The 54 year old woman recognized him by his voice and the way he walked right away even though he pulled a scarf around his face and covered his head with a hoodie.  He got away with 650 pounds (around $971 US) but was quickly arrested. His lawyer explained he was addicted to heroin and was only trying to finance his habit...like that makes it okay?

Threat: The robber demanded money from Mrs Brown while trying to hide his identity
Target: The robbery took place at the Thorougoods convenience store in Clitheroe, Lancashire
