Indianapolis IN – 12:17pm UK, Wednesday October 21, 2009
An armed robber in Indianapolis turned to God mid-robbery in what investigators are calling the strangest case they have ever seen.
Gregory Smith, 23, walked into a store in an Indianapolis shopping center brandishing a gun.
But instead of raiding the place, he started hugging his tearful victim, Angela Montez, telling her he hated what he was doing but had no choice.
The pair began discussing God and before long Smith was on his knees in tears, praying and being hugged by her. He eventually stole only her mobile phone and $20.
Smith brandishes gun. As Smith left the shop cameras got a clear shot of his face. He then handed himself into police after his mother saw the footage on TV.
Sergeant Kevin Wethington from Indianapolis police said: “I’ve been a detective for three years and I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Update: Here’s a video of the story.
The idea someone is trying to convert someone else and there is a robbery going on ought not to surprise anyone.
Bank robbery: You’re doing it wrong.
Religion: You’re doing it wrong.
The only good use for religion, IMO. To turn stupid criminals straight and make them turn themselves in.
That’s where you all have it wrong… It’s not about religion, it’s about your relationship with God.
