Woman robs Fort Worth convenience store for her grandkids (she says)
Warning that her gun had a "hairline trigger," a woman clad in pajamas and house shoes robbed a Fort Worth convenience store (at 1840 Eastchase Pkwy.) early Friday morning (May 8), demanding money from the till along with a carton of smokes and two cigarillos.
The chatty bandit went on to explain to the clerk that she was doing this for her grandkids - presumably referring to the money part of the heist, as opposed to the tobacco items.
The robber is described as a light-complected black woman, 40 to 50 years of age, about 5 1/2 feet tall and 175 pounds. Anyone with information about the crime should contact the Fort Worth Police Department's robbery unit at 817-392-4370.
(Also, drop me a line if you know what a "hairline trigger" might be...)
