Footsteps in snow lead to robbery suspect

MASSAPEQUA, N.Y. (WABC) -- Police on Long Island say they've solved an armed robbery in a way that would have made Sherlock Holmes proud.

Always cover your tracks, it's practically rule number one if you're going to live a life of crime.

"What an idiot! Got to be an idiot," a shopper said.
