Burger King thieves have getaway car stolen by employee who hides it during robbery
A pair of criminals were left without a getaway car after it was stolen by an employee of the fast food restaurant they were attempting to rob.
The armed men had just raided a branch of Burger King in Stockton, California, when they found themselves in a bit of a pickle.
They had fled the restaurant and were ready to make their getaway but couldn?t locate their vehicle.
It turned out it had been taken by a quick-thinking employee who saw it unattended and decided to drive it away.
The worker had initially gone out back to alert authorities to the robbery and was shocked to find the criminals had been stupid enough to leave their car running.
He then proceeded to drive the vehicle around the corner, which obviously caused considerable confusion for the thieves once they had stepped out.
Jeremy Lovitt, 23, and Gabriel Gonzalez, 19 were arrested by police at the scene.
