Man allegedly robbed Subway shop then crossed street to buy sandwich from competitor

Police say a Chicago man robbed a Subway sandwich shop with a knife and then crossed the street and bought a sandwich at Subway's competitor, Potbelly, where he was arrested.



Fredrick Warren, 43, was still eating his Potbelly sandwich when police arrived just before 5pm on April 26, police said. About 20 minutes earlier, Warren had walked into the Subway shop and held up the cashier with a folding knife, police said.

A customer who walked in mid-robbery told investigators she saw Warren leaning over the counter and grabbing cash from the register. Investigators caught Warren's trail by watching Loyola University Police surveillance video, according to Chicago and Loyola police departments.



It showed Warren walking south, crossing the street and then walking back north to Potbelly. There was no sign of him leaving the Potbelly, so they went inside and found him eating near the back of the shop, his gold coat draped over his seat. He was arrested and police found $186 in cash and a silver-bladed folding knife with a black handle on him, police said. Warren was charged with armed robbery.

I will never understand the criminal mind. At least go to a Potbelly in another part of town!

Even criminals know Potbelly is way better than Subway.
