Du-wayne had been dubbed the “bathroom bandit” by the Columbus Police after a two week string of unsolved similar toilet tragedies between April 14 and 27, 2016. At each targeted location Columbus cops were called to men’s restrooms where they observed dismantled toilets and urinals (such as the one pictured below).
After unhygenic vandalisms at Mount Carmel West, 793 W. State St. (4/14 & 4/22), Applebees, 1590 Georgesville Sq. Dr. (4/26), Kmart, 2400 Stringtown Rd. (4/26), McDonalds, 1524 Georgesville Rd. (4/27), McDonalds, 800 Georgesville Rd. (4/27), Taco Bell, 1536 Georgesville R. (4/27), McDonalds, 4601 W. Broad St. (4/27) and McDonalds, 3636 W. Broad St. (4/27) Duwayne was finally arrested. How? Social Media.
Columbus Cops went online, posting still photos from surveillance cameras showing Duwayne (the Bathroom Bandit) walking out of multiple local establishments with a backpack in which police said he was carrying the stolen urinal parts.
Memo to the Folks: Cops are getting significantly more techo-intelligent by the day. With greater frequency law enforcement is turning to social media to assist them in solving crimes, but they also “use” the internet to “create” criminal opportunities (creating false profiles, phony websites, offering illicit, illegal or immoral good and services, etcetera). Ergo, “Haber’s Rules of Social Media # 1 – 5″ (which you can view by clicking here), and you can watch HaberPA’s YouTube Webisode on Social Media and the Law by clicking on the video link below.
