Pharmacist helps police by slipping GPS tracker into suspected robbers' bag

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio —Suspected robbers who allegedly tried to steal prescription pills at a pharmacy near Cincinnati were tripped up by a tracking device.

Police reports stated a GPS tracker in a bag gave officers turn-by-turn directions to the suspects as they were driving away from a Rite Aid pharmacy on Central Avenue just before 8 p.m. Saturday.

Yasar Burnett, 18, and Eric Bates, 19, both were charged with aggravated robbery and kidnapping. The alleged driver, Brandon Dawson, 18, was charged with complicity to aggravated robbery.

The pharmacist told police the suspected robbers “rushed her and pounced on her, striking her in the back … screaming, 'Open the safe! Where is the safe?'"

Why do we have to announce how the bad guys are caught? Just say the suspects have been apprehended without revealing what methods were used.
