Ah, Uber – always there when we need you.

And clearly Dashawn Terrell Cochran, a 23-year-old robbery suspect from Baltimore, agrees.

After holding up a shop at gunpoint, Dashawn decided to order an Uber to come pick him up.

A witness saw him get into the back of a silver Lexus, and police were immediately on the case.

When they pulled the car over they found a second passenger in there with Dashawn and the driver.

That means that not only had he ordered an Uber, he’d opted to use their carpool service.

Officers arrested all three, but let the driver and the other passenger go once they’d determined they ‘had nothing to do with the robbery’.

Dashawn, meanwhile, has been charged with armed robbery, first-degree assault, second-degree assault and theft of less than $1,000.
