ST. LOUIS (AP) – Police say a St. Louis woman who allegedly robbed an officer who responded to her call for help was caught when she used his bank card a short time later.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports (

That’s when the woman allegedly took the opportunity to grab a bank card from an officer’s bag.
The officers discovered the theft soon after, while responding to a larceny at a store. They found the woman and her vehicle, filled with groceries, cigarettes and lottery tickets. Police say receipts show she used the stolen bank card.
