NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (AP) - A burglary suspect who gave a false home address to police after his arrest didn't count on one thing - getting robbed himself.

 

Police say 22-year-old Daniel Cabral of New Bedford was arrested Wednesday and charged with burglarizing a University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth building. He was arraigned and released until his next court date.

 

Hours later, he was robbed at gunpoint while walking home from a bar. He reported the robbery to police, this time giving them his real address instead of the phony address he reported earlier in the day.

 

Police obtained a search warrant for his real address and found computer equipment that had been taken from the UMass building as well as power tools that had been reported missing from a local theater.

 

Cabral was arraigned on new charges on Thursday, and this time prosecutors requested bail of $5,000.

 

I guess that Karma really does work!

People in New Bedford are stupid like that. I know. I used to live there. I was glad to get out.
