Serial Robber Caught Thanks to Wearing Same Shoes in TikTok Videos

The fact that this video is on social media instead of YouTube makes it a cheat, but it's still brilliant. The police's exploitation of the footage was clever; the criminal was not. The FBI was able to apprehend a man seeking to get notoriety on TikTok because of his shoes. He wore the same sneakers in his TikTok dancing video that were photographed during a recent robbery. Despite the suspect's disguise, it was easy to see the shoes.

In a period of two months, the well-dressed bandit carried out four armed robberies. The TikTok video displaying the shoes, however, was posted on the same day as the initial robbery. He later confessed to all the crimes after an anonymous tip led authorities to the video.
