Armed robber learns that mother knows best

There is little better than reading the news on a Monday morning and seeing the headline Robber caught by own mum – no story that day is going to top it, whatever Paris Hilton got up to over the weekend.

Ananova reports that a Czech armed robber who targeted McDonald’s restaurants was grabbed by the ear and marched to the police station by his mum. Katka Zahradnikova, 44, from Prague, recognised her 20-year-old son Michal on CCTV footage screened on the local version of Crimewatch.

A police spokesman said: “He admitted he was responsible for robbing a number of the fast-food stores and put up no resistance when she marched him down here by the ear and made him give us a full statement. We couldn’t have done it better ourselves.”
