NEW YORK (Reuters) - A suspect in two taxicab robberies walked into a New York police station and failed to notice his picture in a "wanted" photo on the wall, giving cops an opportunity to make one of their easiest busts ever.
"You look at the photo, and it's not that glaring that it is him," said Det. Sgt. Norman Horowitz of the New York Police Department. But an alert detective noticed the resemblance and police arrested Awiey "Chucky" Hernandez, 20.
Hernandez and a companion had gone to the station on Tuesday to inquire about Huquan "Guns" Gavin, who had been arrested in another investigation, Horowitz said.
Horowitz said he has never seen anything like it 30 years on the police force. Hernandez and Gavin are being held pending action by a grand jury.
