DETROIT, M.I. — Police are searching for five teenage girls who allegedly robbed a Dairy Queen and posted a photo about it on social media.
Dairy Queen was celebrating free cone day on Monday, March 16th, giving away free ice cream cones. Owner Liz Hope told Fox Detroit that the teens swiped the tip jar and fled. Customers helped the owner by taking photos of them, their getaway car and the car’s plates.
Police received these photos from customers and the girls posted a video clip to Snapchat of themselves in the car waving around cash from the robbery.
Snapchat is a photo messaging app that claims to delete images after they are sent. People receiving these messages can take screen shots of the ‘snaps’, which preserves them. That is one way police seem to have gotten their hands on the video.
Police not only have footage of the girls allegedly committing a robbery, but now have footage of a confession.
It is not clear yet if police have located the teenagers yet.
