Cellphone Bandit brought in
posted November 15th 2005 11:05AM
Of course we'd like to attribute it to the power of Engadget's far-reaching audience (and the private P.I. firm
Peter and I run on the side) that the Cellphone Bandit we
wrote about last week got picked up, but it's hard to deny the stupidity of suspect Candice Martinez, the 19-year old
who was filmed allegedly robbing banks while talking on her phone each time. Disappointingly, however, the final break
in the case didn't come from tapping the cellphone networks or advanced tracking techniques — they happened to have
just gotten her in a car with plates the FBI'd been looking for. The
other Cellphone Bandit who robbed a bank in Georgia? To
the best of our knowledge: still at large.

a getaway driver is just as guilty in a bank robery.
Cum to daddy
1st off this chicks ugly as hell so ur all crazy, 2nd KC u said urself he was harboring a fugitive, becides that u dont know what he was arrested for for all u know it was unpaid parking tickets so dont go playin that card yet
She hot... what's her number?
I heard on the radio that her license plate was the not-so-discrete 'IBONEZI' or something like that. So ShizzleStick *does* have a chance of giving her a hot burrito. Maybe during a conjugal visit.
I think the boyfriend was arrested because he was the one on the phone with her. Yeah, she's so stupid that he had to walk her through it.......
she wasn't bright enough to get into my college, i'm not surprised she did something like this. rejection isn't easy to handle
It's video TAPED not filmed. This is a Technology site and you should know the difference. You do know the difference between videotape and film right?
Sorry, pet peeve.
Yeah, without that cell phone, we'd be hard-pressed to identify her. What a great disguise!
Sorry you guys didn't get the scoop on Fox News today... Don't worry though! I'll keep coming here first for my tech news... Ain't no one what can hold a candle to you guys!
so why did she do it ?
Why'd they arrest her boyfriend? I haven't seen anywhere that he is alleged to have been involved...
Other then harbouring a fugative what are his crimes?
I just like to take the half a second to swich the roles and think what the outcome would be... in otherwords if HE was robbing hte banks and she was not... would she be arrested?
I doubt it... bunny how because it is a woman robbingbanks everyone assumes she is under the control of a man and even though they have no evidence, they arrest the boyfriend anyway....
But if it were the other way around (If he was robbing banks at gun point) then everyone would say she had no choice but to let him stay with her because he would have killed her...
I just find it strange how our society fails to recognise that women are just as capable as men... at doing evil deeds! They do not need to be coerced!
