His first mistake was robbing a Texas bank - his second was allegedly fleeing on an electric scooter
Luca Mangiarano's first alleged mistake was robbing a bank.
His second: using an electric scooter as his getaway vehicle.
Aside from the fact that the Silicon Valley imports top out at about 15 mph, police have begun to realize that they're also something approaching a digital fingerprint on wheels.
Turning a rental scooter on, as regular users know, requires a rider to use an app that contains their phone number, email address and credit card information. You'll probably be unsurprised to learn that these are the kinds of personal details that make it easy for police to track down criminals.

This is also a case of criminal stupidity.
