A man is accused of robbing Subway stores at gunpoint after failing to lose weight on the sandwiches.

Zachary Raphael Torrance, from Alabama, US, said that he was on the Subway diet but it hadn’t worked, according to police, so he wanted a refund.

He targeted four stores before eventually being caught by a customer who recognised his bright orange shoes on CCTV footage that appeared online.

Police chief Chuck Hagler said: ‘He told the detective that he had been on the Subway diet and it had not worked for him and he felt like he wanted his money back.




‘The detective felt like he was being serious.’

When he was arrested at a branch of Walmart, it is alleged that he was buying a gun holster.

He is being held on a $250,000 bond.
