In an interesting turn of events, a bakery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, started giving out cookies with a picture of a strange man printed on them. The picture was apparently of the man who robbed the bakery on April 19. According to reports he broke into the bakery at around midnight and stole cash from the cash drawer along with some bakery equipment.
The bakery run by a couple decided to take the help of the community in finding the suspect but in their own unique style. They got a clear photo of the suspect in the security footage and printed it on an edible paper. Multiple copies of the photo were taken out which were then stuck on almost 100 sugar cookies that were handed out to customers and locals.
