Dumb Criminals: Maryland Convenience Store Robber Had Uber Getaway Car

[Initech]

A 23-year-old man suspected of armed robbery tried to take an Uber car to help him get away after he held up a store outside Baltimore, police said.

The suspect, Dashawn Terrell Cochran, was at a store in Parkville, Maryland, early Wednesday morning when he allegedly took a bottle of Tylenol cold medicine to the register, the Baltimore County Police Department said. Police said he then pointed a gun at an employee and demanded money.

Cochran ran from the store with an undisclosed amount of cash, but officers began to track his path, police said.

Or is this guy a smart criminal? Think about it - Uber drivers go wherever you tell them to go.

1. Is it possible?

Is it possible that no robbery has been committed using a drone to whisk away the evidence before the perp flees? It seems to me that there might be some problems in proving the amount of what was stolen without the evidence. And then, even if captured, the crook(s) would still have the goods.
