French police said Tuesday they were on the hunt for a man in his forties who has held up a series of bakeries in Paris suburbs to steal croissants and other baked goods.
Since December 9, the man has robbed five bakeries in western suburbs, police said, each time using the same modus operandi.
After placing an order, the man holds up what appears to be a fake revolver, points it at the person behind the cash register and takes his pastries without paying.

Or fresh OJ, a good steak, broccoli steamed perfectly, a Reeses peanut butter cup. but I never would. Much less pull a gun to assuage my cravings.
