VERMILION TWP. — An armed robber accused of holding up the Dairy Stop in Vermilion Township on Wednesday covered his face with a mask and his hands with gloves, police said.

But he forgot to cover his license plate.

As a result, police said they caught their man, and he’s now facing felony charges.

Matthew Laslo, 33, of Huron, is charged with aggravated robbery and carrying a concealed weapon after Wednesday’s incident.

According to Erie County Sheriff’s Capt. Paul Sigsworth, Laslo had parked his car about four doors down from the Dairy Stop before going in to rob it.

Fortunately, Sigsworth said, witnesses saw him leave and noted his license number. He was captured a short time later.

Laslo was being held without bond in the Erie County jail pending arraignment today.
