In paragraph 1 the Lone Wolf is promptly arrested. In paragraph 2 he has evaded capture. Either there is an error or an omission.

The word 'looted' is used to describe what is probably a jewel theft. While it isn't technically incorrect to use the term 'looted,' that word is often associated with wanton destruction as well as theft. If the movie doesn't feature this, I'd suggest 'stolen' would be the more appropriate word. It's nice when people use a thesaurus, but it's best when they choose the most accurate and descriptive word even if it's common.

The word 'tuffle' is used to describe something that is probably a fight. The OED defines 'tuffle' as 'to put things in disorder, ruffle, rumple.' It is not a synonym for 'tussle,' which can be used to describe a fight. Again, I don't know why simple English wasn't used- 'fight.'
