Buffalo, Nov 7: What man taketh away, modern technology helps giveth back. The Subway sandwich shop at the True Bethel Baptist Church in Buffalo was robbed at gunpoint on Friday November 2 night, but the crime was recorded on the store's surveillance video.
During Sunday church services, Rev Darius Pridgen gave a sermon about the harm people do to one another. Pridgen included footage from the robbery and it was showed on two large video screens. His sermon also offered a $3,000 reward for the arrest of the suspect.
Within minutes after the service ended, four anonymous tips identifying the robber were received. A few hours later, police arrested David Glass, 45, and charged him with robbery and petit larceny.
Pridgen said he offered the reward because he wanted to show his community that crime pays, but not for the criminal.
