[dumbass] Couple robs gas station twice?

A Berlin couple has been charged with robbing the same gas station twice last weekend.

Police say 50-year-old Donald Varnum went into a Shell station on Central Street Saturday evening, holding a white box that he claimed was a bomb. The attendant handed over an undetermined amount of money, and Varnum allegedly ran off.

A state police K-9 unit tracked his scent to Route 495, but there was no sign of him. About 24 hours later, police say Varnum came back, this time with a semi-automatic pistol. He allegedly robbed the attendant and ran off again.

Police say the K-9 tracked him down near 495. They say he admitted committing both robberies. His alleged getaway driver, 50-year-old Dorothy Gazzaniga, was also arrested. Police say she also confessed. Both are charged with two counts of robbery. Article here.
