Robbery Turns Out ‘For the Birds’
At around 5:24 p.m. Dec. 5, a delivery truck driver called Bainbridge Township police to report what he thought was a robbery in progress at the Bainbridge Township Walmart on Aurora Road, said Police Chief Jon Bokovitz.
The truck driver, who was at the back of Walmart, stated no one would come to the door, he could see two people inside with shotguns and the front of the store looked dark to him, according to the incident report.
“The guy could see in a window these guys with guns and thought it might be a robbery in progress,” the chief said.
However, the guys were employed by Walmart to take care of a nuisance problem with birds, Bokovitz said, adding they had what he believed were pellet guns.
The incident report said the store was closed for awhile while a “paid service” was inside with pellet guns “taking out some rodents,” but otherwise, checked out OK.
