Van with strip club ads leads to arrests

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - Cedar Rapids police didn't have much trouble spotting a van that allegedly carried people wanted for questioning in an alleged armed robbery.

Officers spotted the van Friday in the parking lot of a convenience store. It wasn't hard to identify because its exterior was completely covered with advertising for Big Earl's Goldmine, a Des Moines strip club.

Several people from the van were taken in for questioning in the case of a man who said he was robbed at gunpoint outside a Cedar Rapids Dairy Queen early Friday afternoon.
