ANY good entrepreneur knows it is important to weigh-up the risk versus the reward before committing to a venture.
Unfortunately for aspiring gangster, David Anthony Battle, 50, his recent decision to rob six pharmacies in Moreno Valley, Colton and San Bernardino, California, netted him just US$5,453, before he was arrested.
Battle was arrested on 10 Aug after a failed attempted hold-up at a Walgreens Pharmacy, and was handed over to Federal prosecutors days later, CBS Los Angeles reported.
In each robbery, Battle allegedly wore dark clothes and a surgical mask - reports have yet to confirm if this was a COVID-19 precaution or a cunning disguise - and pulled out a handgun before demanding cash.
If convicted on all charges Battle is facing 160 years behind bars, which suggests the risks far outweighed the reward of his criminal ventures.
