Police Catch Crutch Robber In Kansas City

by Eliza Ferree

You may remember the “Crutch Bandit” that was swirling around this past week when the FBI showed raw footage of him robbing a bank. The bandit showed up wearing what looked like a Ninja get up and using a crutch to get around. However, the crutch didn’t stop him from shooting a gun twice inside a bank and proceeding to rob the place. Well, it seems they just caught the bandit in Kansas City, MO today.

Khoa Luong, the crutch robber, was arrested earlier this afternoon when police discovered who he is. The reason for the crutch? Seems Khoa had childhood polio which made it so he needed to use the crutch, his father believes his issues dealt with a gambling debt.
