Cash Advance Clowns Apprehended

Historical archive, first published 2006 — payday-lending laws and rates have changed since. Preserved for the record.

Looks like it was one robbery too many for the cash advance clowns.

Just as we brought you news that another fast payday loan crime had been committed by men sporting clown attire, four arrests have been made in the case. The latest incident took place Wednesday at the Cash Advance at Speedway and Alvernon, while the costumed thieves struck the Payday Loans at La Canada and River.

Before that, they hit the Check 'n Go on First and Wetmore. Now, however, their days of clowning around (sorry) and taking cah for such payday advance loan establishments appear to be over.
