Bungled Burglary Leaves Macaroni Trail

Bungled Burglary Leaves Macaroni Trail

In a baffling burglary in New York State in 2015, three criminals targeted the Build-A-Burger Restaurant in Mt. Morris, making off with the cash register and surveillance system. However, their escape attempt took an absurd turn when they left a trail of macaroni salad behind them. The suspects, identified as Matthew P. Sapetko, James P. Marullo, and Timothy S. Walker Jr., couldn't resist indulging in the stolen macaroni salad as they fled the scene, inadvertently leaving a literal breadcrumb trail for the police to follow.

Law enforcement quickly discovered discarded items such as cash register parts, surveillance system components, and rubber gloves. Still, it was the conspicuous macaroni salad remnants that led investigators to their hideout. The ineptitude of the burglars resulted in their swift arrest, and their loot amounted to a mere $29 from the cash register.
