After a series of break-ins at a hotel parking lot, one of the victims noticed that she had a charge for $120 worth of food from Carl’s Jr. on her card. As salivatingly awesome as that may be, it was not her own purchase, and the police set out to find the perpetrator.
Once police arrived at the Carl’s Jr. location, they questioned an employee who offered up a license plate number, as well as an account of how she recognized one of the men in the car from a local high school.
“Officers then learned photos of the thieves’ purchase may have been posted to an Instagram account,” CBS Sacramento reports. “They checked the account and found a photo believed to be of the suspects eating the food they purchased on the stolen card.” With all that fast food goodness, it seems that the alleged hamburglars didn’t think the police could ketchup.
Using this wealth of information, police were able to track down the vehicle in question. Upon finding it contained items reported stolen from the hotel parking lot, the four suspects were arrested.
Hopefully they enjoyed that meal, because it’s a heck of a lot better than whatever they’ll get to eat in jail — even if it was just Carl’s Jr.
