DNA-Tested Sandwich May Solve Robbery
A quote by a British Detective says it all when it comes to how DNA might help solve a recent mugging: “It’s not the brightest idea to leave your lunch at a crime scene,” Det. Con. Pete Wormley said.
According to a Mirror article a teenager apparently took an elderly woman’s purse and ran off, but not before leaving what police think is his half-eaten lunch behind in a cemetery near where the mugging took place.
Police and crime scene investigators are now testing the remnants of the lunch—specifically, a ham sandwich and potato chips—for any DNA evidence that could lead them to the robber.
It remains to be seen whether the DNA evidence on the ham sandwich will make up the meat of this case, or if other evidence will be needed to apprehend the munching mugger.
