- Three weeks ago a local bakery was robbed at gunpoint. The thief wore a mask, so even when the police found a suspect the bakery owner couldn’t make a positive ID. However, as the CSI processing the scene, you collected several fingerprints from various parts of the bakery. The police have identified a suspect, but he says he’s never been to that bakery. It’s your job to see if the suspect’s fingerprints match any of those recovered at the scene of the crime.
