Robber’s ‘Bomb’ Was Toy Penguin

Authorities in Arizona said a woman who claimed to be concealing a bomb under her shirt while robbing a service station was actually holding a toy penguin. Yavapai County sheriff’s deputies said Andri Jeffers, 26, claimed to be concealing a bomb under her shirt last Thursday when she demanded money from a clerk at a Chevron Station in Dewey-Humboldt. Investigators said Jeffers eventually fled the store when the clerk refused to cooperate and deputies identified the suspect from security camera footage and her license plate number, which was taken down by the clerk. Jeffers was arrested Thursday evening. Deputies said she admitted to the incident and they learned the object she was holding beneath her shirt was a toy penguin. She was arrested on one count of attempted robbery and was later released on bond.
