A Massachusetts woman who allegedly brandished a needle that she claimed was infected with AIDS as she robbed a convenience store Monday has been arrested, according to police.
Raynham Police responded to the scene at the Seasons Corner Market shortly after 6 p.m. and were told the woman left with a “quantity of cash” after robbing the store at needle-point, according to a statement from the department.
After getting the suspect’s license plate information, the officers alerted local communities to be on the lookout, and State Police said the same vehicle was already wanted in connection with a similar offense.
