Caught on tape: Fast-food bandits!

021406_robbers.jpgPolice have arrested a La Marque couple in connection with a series of robberies at fast-food restaurants in Houston and the southeastern suburbs. John T. Mock and Maxine Sallie, who KPRC call "a modern day Bonnie and Clyde," targeted Subway and Church's restaurants in Houston, Pasadena, Deer Park, Baytown, League City and Alvin.

According to KTRK, Mock and Sallie weren't the sharpest plastic knives in the package: They robbed a Subway shop in Alvin, but Sallie ate at the restaurant around the same time as the robbery and paid with a check. It didn't take a lot of sleuthing to connect the woman who paid with a check — because honestly, who pays Subway with a check? — with the woman who was caught on a surveillance tape robbing the restaurant. Coincidentally, police had previously questioned Sallie in connection with the robberies.

Alvin police have charged Mock and Sallie with aggravated robbery.
