Thief in Redondo Beach should have stolen some Alka-Seltzer
Just pulled this one together off a Redondo Beach police report:
A transient was arrested after he burst into a Redondo Beach convenience store and made a meal out of stolen bananas, ice cream and candy bars.
He was arrested when officers heard him a few houses away, yelling incoherently, "possibly due to an upset stomach," a police report said.
The crime occurred Dec. 9 about 2:30 a.m. at the Redondo Food Mart, 529 S. Catalina Ave.
The man threw a California Lottery sign through the store's front door, broke inside and stole candy bars, bananas and ice cream.
Police arrived and heard his moans.
"They found numerous candy wrappers and food items on the ground next to him and on his person," the report said.
He was taken to jail.
