San Mateo police arrested a man at a florist shop early Saturday morning, accusing him of robbing it as well as a nearby florist shop earlier in the week.
The scene was less than 800 feet from San Mateo Florist & Gift, where someone shattered the glass door and made off with a cash register Thursday night, police said.
``What in carnation? He couldn't buy himself flowers, so he broke in and stole a cash register," police said in a statement Saturday. Security video showed the clothing worn by a man in Thursday's burglary matched what Murphy was wearing Saturday, police said. Murphy was arrested and accused of two counts of second-degree burglary.
