Gilbert Lovato and his getaway driver, Audrey Hapke, were averaging at least one armed holdup per day in recent weeks, police said. They repeatedly hit local fast food joints throughout Albuquerque, including Twisters, Church's Chicken and McDonald's. Police, who had been on the case for weeks, say they finally caught up with the pair after they fled yet another robbery.

Hapke, 35, who police said was driving the getaway car, was not harmed in the shooting and was booked into the county jail.
