COLUMBUS, Ohio — When Yolanda Lee helped Darius Foster rob the Dollar General store at 3649 Victory Drive last November, a Columbus probation officer just happened to be nearby.
And he just happened to see a black Suzuki Forenza that matched what his police radio was broadcasting as a description of the robbers’ vehicle, so he got behind it, wrote down the tag number and reported it.
Investigators quickly learned that the Forenza belonged to Lee’s mother, and that her daughter and Foster had been using it. So police put pictures of Lee and Foster in a photo lineup and showed them to the clerk, who immediately picked out the pair. Store security cameras also had images of the two for police to compare to the photographs.
