Dude queues for 15-minutes to rob bank using a bottle of Febreze

[ReedeFox]

A hapless bank robber queued for 15 minutes with a bottle of Febreze as a weapon in an attempt to steal money. Honestly, you can’t make this stuff up! 

 

38-year-old Simon Jones waited in line at NatWest bank in County Durham, wearing blue latex gloves, a hooded top pulled up, a face mask and dark glasses. He missed a trick by not going for the classic black and white striped cat-burglar attire.  


 
When he reached the front of the queue he handed a note to the cashier, which said that the Febreze bottle had acid in it and demanded they hand over the cash or he’d spray them in the face. Thankfully, the cashier was quick-thinking and handed over a bundle of decoy notes which contained a tracking device, as well as £370 in cash. Jones then legged it out to his girlfriend’s red Ford Fiesta, which he’d borrowed without asking. Tut tut.



​​​Annoyingly, the tracking device failed to work but luckily the guy was caught a few hours later after someone spotted the red Fiesta. The dude has now been jailed for 40 months.

Hi There Foxy Lady

It's Just As I Thought - Intelligence Developement In Uk Has Some What Dropped Since I Was Last There.
It's Clearly Obvious That This Guy Had Not Thought It Through, Although He Got The Desired Result, And Some Much Needed Time To Recall His Major Failings As An Armed Bank Robber,lol.
How Conspicuous Could He Have Been - A Red Car And His Girl Friends At That,lol.
But There's More Lunacy To Come He Didnt Account For Pedestrians Or CCTV On The Streets Finding Him Out.
To Top It All Off - Attempting To Use Some Kind Of Acid That Would Cause Harm To Humans Would Not Have Been Ok To Fill A Plastic Spray Bottle. Shear Lunacy

Jester

A Glass Based Spray Container Would Be A Better Choice
