GREENACRES, Fla. (AP) - Authorities caught a Lake Worth man running down the street with a stolen cash register. Greenacres police reported that a 32-year-old man entered a restaurant Thursday afternoon and asked for change for a $10 bill. When the cashier asked to see the bill, the man reportedly began screaming, "I want change!"
Police said the man then grabbed about $40 from a tip box, picked up the cash register containing nearly $300 and ran out.
The officers who arrested the suspect after a short chase had just come from reviewing surveillance footage at a nearby connivence store, where lottery tickets had been stolen a day earlier. By chance, the officers identified the man as the thief from the footage.
The man was being held on $21,000 bail for multiple charges.
