SUFFOLK, Va. -- Three men are accused of being real-life "Hamburglars" after DNA evidence taken from leftover McDonald's burgers linked them to a 2004 robbery.
Marcellus L. Jones, 45, Thomas Nelson Cribbs IV, 23, and Dexter Carlos Webb, 22, have been charged with armed robbery, abduction and use of a firearm during a felony. Police say that during a robbery of a McDonald's restaurant in May 2004, the three men ordered food, ate and waited for the fast-food eatery to empty before robbing the place at gunpoint and forcing employees into a freezer.
But police say the trio left portions of their uneaten burgers behind and investigators were able to take DNA samples and trace them to the suspects. The five employees also gave detailed description of the suspects and the store even had clear surveillance video.
