Police said Sharife Doorah, 23, led them on a chase after taking about $8,000 from the Sakittome Lounge.
"Upon arrival, they were told the suspect just went out the backdoor. In fact, he was getting into a vehicle carrying a bag of money with him," said In
dianapolis police Sgt. Don Weilhammer.
Police chased Doorah around the neighborhood before he bailed out of his vehicle and took off on foot.
A police canine chased Doorah and that's when police said the chase took a peculiar turn.

The money flew around the getaway car and onto the streets. :rotfl:
"There were people coming out of houses trying to pick up money as we were trying to secure it," Weilhammer said. "I believe most of the money was recovered. There might be a little bit of change that wasn't."
Police said they were still finding loose change an hour after the incident, but they believe most of the bills were fo
