Useless robber hands himself in
A luckless crook surrendered to police after four robberies flopped in the same day.
Ralf Lautenbach fled after trying to hold up two hotels which set security guards on him - and then abandoned a break in at the local tax office in Muelheim an der Ruhr, Germany.
Finally the failing would-be crook handed himself in after he was trapped in his getaway car after using it to ram a bank security cash van.
“He needs a change of job,” said one officer.
