Late night on April 19th, a man jimmied the lock at Canfora Bakery in Milwaukie, Wisconsin.
Owner Karen Krieg says he stole a cash draw and equipment.
Surveillance video got pretty good images of the suspect, so Krieg tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, “we decided to make the best of it and see if the community could identify him.”
So they took an image of the man from security footage, printed it on edible paper and made sugar cookies.
They posted pictures of the cookies on Facebook, writing “Sunday May 2nd, Come Take a Bite Out Of Crime at Canfora Bakery! The bakery was robbed of cash and equipment on Monday April 19th. So, we made delicious sugar cookies with his image on them! We invite the Bay View community to come on in and take a bite out of the thief while supplies last - one per family”.
Within the first 20 minutes of the posting they started receiving tips.
The suspect was ultimately identified, now po-po are trying to find him.
