Metal Detector Superhero
Okay, that’s bit of an exaggeration. But I think that someone who is willing to help fight crime in such an unusual way deserves some credit. The who: a man by the name of Yves St. Brice (quite the bad guy name right there) led Police on a high speed chase, endangering several drivers while trying to escape. The where: Worcester, Massachusetts. The why: apparently, Yves robbed a Zale’s jewelry store by snatching a ring, when he was arrested the ring was gone…
So what makes this story so different you might be asking? A man who witnessed the chase, grabbed his metal detector where he saw St. Brice speeding and actually found the missing ring! This unknown “crime fighter” went out of his way to help out and did the impossible by locating a needle in the haystack so to speak. Even if he saw where the ring was tossed (which I doubt he did.) Think about the bounce that ring must have taken at such high speeds; and not only that, but the amount of area he must have had to cover with his metal detector! There has been no word of a reward or what metal detector the man used. As for St. Brice, well he is being charged with felony theft now that the evidence has been found.
