Police had no trouble tracking down a suspect in the
robbery of three women at a Bucks
County convenience store,
because the women had taken the man's picture a short time earlier at a bar.
The suspect, Andre Smith, struck up a
conversation with a group women at a bachelorette party at the Bensalem Township taproom early Sunday morning,
said the township's public safety director, Fred Harran. The women were taking
photos of each other when Smith jumped in front of the camera, Harran said.
Smith later was ejected from the bar for
allegedly harassing customers.
When two women in the group left the bar to go
to a nearby convenience store, Smith robbed them of their pocketbooks, Harran said.
The women recognized Smith—who apparently didn't recognize them—and gave
investigators a copy of their photo, Harran
said.
Later Sunday, a detective went around to local
apartment complexes looking for Smith and spotted him, Harran
said.
Smith was arrested on robbery and theft charges
and is being held on $50,000 bail. Electronic court records do not list an attorney
for him.
