LOS ANGELES - A man who claims to be looking for a job ends up pulling a gun, authorities in Los Angeles say.
They’ve dubbed the suspect “the job application bandit” because he gets an application from a store clerk, then shows a gun and demands money.
Authorities said the man has robbed nine different businesses.
Most of his targets have been Starbucks and Subway locations.
