Now here's a humorous ending to yesterday's manhunt for an armed robbery suspect. Although he evaded police during a five-hour search and closure of a few block area, his continued tomfoolery landed him in cuffs. As told by a local neighborhood watch via the LAPD Senior Lead Officer for the area, here's what happened:

Police said that a perimeter set up for an armed robbery suspect has concluded after an exhaustive five-hour search ended with no arrests. Around 5 a.m. this morning, two robbery suspects were recognized by officers in the parking lot of Rite-Aid at Riverside and Fulton. One was quickly arrested, but the other escaped on foot, possibly with a gun. Police created a large perimeter, using patrol units, an airship and K-9 units. At about 10:20 a.m., the perimeter was opened.

Back in April we did a short preview of the latest installment of Midnight Club, one of the most popular arcade style racing games on the shelves. Like we said before, Midnight Club is published by the same guys that give us Grand Theft Auto, Bully, and Manhunt, so we're pretty sure that entertainment won't be an issue. As you can see in the trailer, the star of the game is Audi's latest super car the R8, and although we may live in the land of ostentatious autos its still tough to find one of these bad boys on the streets these days.
