A thirsty suspect who robbed two enterprising girls of their lemonade stand sales on Wednesday in blistering hot Rancho Cucamonga California has been apprehended.
According to police reports, the young ingrate allegedly kicked down the roadside operation and then snatched a money box with $30 in it, after the pair of too-generous 13-year-olds gave him a free cup of refreshment when he pled poverty.
A brother of one of the young ladies quickly gave the thug chase, but came back empty-handed.
Suspect Santini Tate, who’s now been charged with “strong-arm” burglary, was caught hours later with the cash he stole from the young lemonade vendors still on his person.
Tate is believed to be responsible for a string of similar heists throughout the neighborhood this summer, and is currently being held in a county detention facility on $100,000 bail for his petty-crime spree.
