Welland’s Shirt-Headed Robber

In what might be the most confusing robbery attempt of 2024, a Welland gas station was nearly “held up” by a man who thought pulling a green shirt over his head would serve as a master disguise. Spoiler: it didn’t.

On September 23, this fashion-forward suspect strolled into the Esso Gas Station on Ontario Road, brandishing a knife and demanding cash. The brave employee, unimpressed by the sight of what can only be described as a “shirt bandit,” simply refused, and our confused criminal fled.

The suspect is described as:

  • Male
  • White
  • Gray/black hair
  • Wearing a Green Shirt pulled over his head, grey slip on shoes and a yellow reusable grocery bag

No injuries were reported, but the incident serves as a reminder that even the most unusual suspects can’t outsmart a well-placed security camera!
