Phoenix police accuse man of 16 robberies

Authorities identified the man arrested as Gregory Elzy.

The armed robber received the nickname because he first started auto parts stores, asking a clerk for a box of automobile fuses before pulling a gun.

Police say he used the technique at least 16 times to rob auto parts stores, fast food restaurants and dry cleaners.

Phoenix Police Department spokesman Sgt. Trent Crump says investigators did interviews, showed photo lineups and served search warrants over the last week before the arrest.
