Robber With Bible Breaks Golden Rule
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
A businessman and local officials were in a run-down Philadelphia neighborhood discussing ways to bring in more jobs when they were approached by a man holding a Bible. He pulled a gun out of it and robbed them. The man approached the group and asked if they were cops. One answered no. That’s when the man opened his hollowed-out Bible and whipped out a pistol. “In that case, give me your wallets,” said the crook. The men forked over $100 and some credit cards and watched the man speed away in an old, green car, police said. No one was injured.
