It's Not Delivery. It's Stolen!


SWAT team responds to stolen pizza
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Police say a plot to steal a delivery man’s pizza brought out a SWAT team in Alaska.

Police spokesman Lt. Dave Parker says a man trying to deliver a pizza order Sunday night was confronted outside a northeast Anchorage home by a man with a gun and a stick. He says three other people attacked him from behind, grabbed the pizza but ran away without taking his money.

Police say the delivery man then followed one of the attackers, a girl, to a home where police arrested her. They say the other suspects then barricaded themselves in the home, prompting authorities to call in a SWAT team that entered the property.

Joseph Nicalaskey and Cesar Alvarez-Jennings, both 19, and two girls were arrested on charges of robbery and assault. The names of the girls were not released.

It sure does seem like there has been more of these pizza delivery driver thefts recently. Must be some hungry folks out there. it kind of reminds me of mine and B-Dub's plot for the best pizza delivery theft ever. It was back when The Squirrel was delivering pies for Papa John's. We were going to have a pizza delivered to a random house and when The Squirrel got out to deliver the good I was going to hop in his truck and drive away. Unfortunately he must have expected as much and whenever we would call Papa John's and request he deliver the pizza they would tell us he couldn't. What a great idea that was though.
