Man Gives Up On Robbery When Clerk Just Walks Away

Man Gives Up On Robbery When Clerk Just Walks Away: "


One of the only things worse than being a dumb criminal is when your targeted victim treats you like you’re stupid while you’re committing the crime. In Des Moines, IA. a man walks into a local pharmacy, hands the clerk a note demanding a controlled substance and claims that two of his friends are waiting outside with guns. Seriously? I guess if the robbery failed he was going to tell the clerk “Okay, wait right there while I go get my friends?” Ummm, no. Sounds like this guy needs a day job.


“An attempted robbery of Hammer Pharmacy in Des Moines failed Tuesday when a clerk simply walked away.


The robber ran out of the store at 600 E. Grand Ave., shortly after 1:30 p.m. There were no arrests.


Police said the man was after hydromorphone, a derivative of morphine. He passed a note to a clerk while he was talking on a cell phone. The note said, “Put all the hydromorphone in a bag. I have two friends waiting outside with weapons.”


As the clerk read the note, police said, the robber asked, “Is this a problem?”


The clerk turned toward a back hallway and walked away. When he realized the clerk was not getting the drugs the robber ran out the door.


Another employee triggered a silent alarm. There were no arrests.”
