Police: Robbers tried to sell stolen items back to owner

DENVER - Denver police have arrested four suspects accused of unwittingly trying to sell items they stole back to the burglary victim.

KMGH-TV reports Lacinda Robinson discovered the items were missing from her home on Friday and then drove to the parking lot of a nearby fast-food restaurant to report the theft to police there. She says that's when she was approached by two people asking if she wanted to buy a video game set, which she recognized as her own.

Robinson says she was startled when another person walked up wearing her jacket. She went next door to a gas station and found two off-duty police officers who made the arrests.

Robinson told police she is still missing an iPad, a flat-screen TV and some cash.
