Update - The suspects in the armed robbery of Steak ‘n Shake, 1912 W. Worley Street, on Dec. 15 have been identified as Timothy Smith and Brittni Smith, both of Indiana.
The couple was apprehended in White County, Illinois by the White County Sheriff’s Department for a similar offense. The suspects were committing similar robberies and theft in several states including Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee, Missouri and possibly others.
The vehicle used in the Columbia robbery and several others was stolen and spray painted black by the Smiths to elude officers.
Columbia Police detectives obtained a warrant for the Smith's arrest on charges of Robbery in the First Degree. The White County Sheriff’s Department has booked the Smiths on those warrants and other charges from their case.
The identification and capture of the suspects is a testament to good police work by CPD and other law enforcement agencies. CPD quickly processed and disseminated the video from the Steak ‘n Shake robbery to other law enforcement agencies. Excellent information sharing by many law enforcement agencies led to their capture and arrest.
