It Pays to Have Cops Eating at Your Restaurant

Four police officers enjoying some Chinese food at the Golden House Restaurant in Lawrence, Massachusetts, had their meal rudely interrupted by a would-be thief attempting to rob the restaurant. The man entered the restaurant while the officers were still dining and asked the cashier to make change for a quarter. As soon as the register was open, the man reached over the counter, grabbed a handful of cash, and made a break for the door. The four officers gave chase, eventually arresting the man who is now being charged with unarmed robbery.

We’re hoping the owner of the restaurant was kind enough to at least give the officers 50% off as a thank you for their efforts.
