MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - It was a tasty heist while it lasted.

For four straight mornings, a thief with a sweet tooth rushed into a pastry shop in Mexico City and held up the duty employee at knifepoint before making off with a chocolate cake.

His mistake, however, was to pounce every day at 8 a.m. sharp. So, on Tuesday, the "Azteca" pastry shop's manager called in the police a few minutes ahead of time and they nabbed the thief as he tried to pull off the cake heist for a fifth straight day.

"He arrived at the pastry shop armed with a knife and again demanded his cake from the employee, but when he tried to escape he was arrested by the police," Mexico City's police department said in a statement.

It said the thief, identified as Evaristo Perez, and the chocolate cake were then both handed over to judicial authorities.
