Gear up for the weirdest bank robbery story you’ll ever hear.
A man sporting a hat, sunglasses and an eye patch allegedly stole almost R120 000 from two banks in Israel.
His outfit wasn’t the weird part though.
He was armed with nothing but an avocado.
Here’s BusinessInsider:
The suspect walked into the Big Be’er Sheva shopping mall’s Postal Bank branch in southern Israel and gave a bank teller a note telling them to “hand over the money in the drawer,” before threatening to throw a grenade, according to a June 6 report from Israel’s Channel 12 news that was cited by The Times of Israel.
That “grenade,” however, was a painted avocado, according to the report.
Here he is threatening a bank teller with his avo :
Following the success of his first avo robbery, the suspect went to another Postal Bank branch, this time at the Oren Centre shopping area.
The suspect, who remains nameless, had previously served a three-year prison term after facing charges in connection with robbery, according to The Times of Israel.
He is in custody and will not be misusing fruit again any time soon.
