Robber Uses Batleth in Hold-Up

Robber Uses Batleth in Hold-Up

February 4, 2009 By Mike Hickerson 4 Comments

A robber in Colorado Spring has no honor.

According to reports, a masked man robbed two 7-11 convience stores early Wednesday morning using a batleth. A clerk at one of the two stores recognized the weapon from the popular TV series, “Star Trek: The Next Generation.”

The first robbery was reported at 1:50 a.m., at 145 N Spruce St. The clerk told police a white man in his 20s, wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and wearing a black mask, entered the store with a weapon the clerk recognized from “Star Trek.”

The robber demanded money and left with an undisclosed amount of money.

A half hour later, police received a call from a 7-Eleven at 2407 N. Union Blvd., where a man matching the previous description entered the store with a similar weapon. He also demanded money from the store clerk. The clerk refused and the robber ran off.

Neither clerk was injured in the robberies.

As of this report, the honorless suspect is still at large.

    . . . he’s lucky he did not get shot . . . but perhaps this will prompt calls to register all alien weapons.
