Police have arrested a suspected armed robber who attempted to conceal his weapon inside a loaf of bread. The bizarre incident occurred during a stop-and-search operation, where officers became suspicious of the suspect’s oddly shaped loaf. Upon inspection, they discovered a loaded firearm cleverly tucked within the bread.

Authorities praised the officers for their vigilance and quick action, which prevented a potential crime. The suspect is currently in custody and faces multiple charges, including unlawful possession of a firearm and attempted robbery.

Police have reminded the public that while criminals may try creative hiding methods, “nothing can stay half-baked under thorough police scrutiny.”
