Snapchat’s slogan is “The Fastest Way to Share a Moment!”

It may also be the fastest way to nab a criminal. 

At least if they’re dumb enough to post their crimes on social media. 

According to our friend at Fox News, one Minnesota man was just that dumb:

Police arrested a 22-year-old man in Colorado in connection with arson attacks on a Minneapolis police station last month during protests over the death of George Floyd, according to federal investigators.

NATIONAL POLL: Do You Trust Fox News?

Investigators linked Dylan Shakespeare Robinson to the crimes after reviewing videos he posted to his own Snapchat, authorities said.

The videos show someone making Molotov cocktails, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

“These guys have never made a Molotov… Rookies,” Robinson allegedly wrote in the comments. “We need gasoline.”

In another video, the ATF said investigators saw Robinson lighting a fire outside a stairwell at the Minneapolis Police Department’s Third Precinct building — which was overrun, vandalized and burned on May 28.

Here’s the purps mugshot:
