Suspected ‘Cookie Monster’ Robber Arrested in Houston

No, not the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street, but a man dubbed the "Cookie Monster Robber" has been arrested by Houston police. The bandit is suspected in holdups at more than 30 Houston-area fast-food restaurants, and got the nickname because he demanded a cookie,  along with the cash at each holdup.

Houston police said 24-year-old Eugene Bradshaw and suspected accomplice, 34-year-old Kristy George were taken into police custody late last week on armed robbery charges. The duo is suspected in 34 robberies in the Houston area over the course of several months.

Reuters reported that surveillance video showed the Cookie Monster Robber entering the restaurants with a bag over his head. Police said the robber would tell cashiers that he had a gun and demanded cash and cookies.
