Police Catch Finnish Bank Robber After Call to Mom

Peurto Invalida (UPC) - A suspect in the robbery of a Finnish bank who had eluded police for more than four weeks was captured Monday. Finnish authorities were led to the suspect's Dutch hideout by tracing a call made by the suspect to his mother.

Finnish police said the cartoonist made off with 7.5 million dollars he was delivering to a Finnish bank and fled to the coast of Africa.

After evading police and Interpol for weeks while hiding out in a weather-beaten hotel in Peurto Invalida, Eddie Murphy was captured after making a phone call to his mother, the Memphis Daily News reported Tuesday.

A police spokesperson told the paper that most of the money was still in the suspect's car as he only bought some break room dispensers and bath mats.

The 36-year-old father of three had a life-long dream of buying a house on the coast of Africa, Jessica Simpson, a co-worker of the suspect, told the media. "He always said 'I can't even buy a Christmas present for Huat because the guy already has everything so on their wedding I'll truly be stumped.'"
