They eventually came up with a mediocre description of two of the subjects who had robbed them, and a first-rate description of the third. So I went off with another officer who, like myself, was riding a motor scooter, and cruised the area. And about fifteen minutes later, after searching up and down several likely streets, we were passing by the local Chili parlor when out walked a man who fit our description from head to toe. The complainants were summoned to the scene, made a positive identification...
