Bank robbers call ahead

A pair of impatient bank robbers avoided waiting to be served by calling ahead into the bank they planned to hold up to warn them they’d be back later for the loot.

According to police in Fairfield, Connecticut, two men called into a People’s United Bank on Tuesday afternoon.

They told the bank employee to get a sack of cash ready because they would be showing up soon to collect their cash.

Ten minutes later, the pair made good on their promise and showed up at the bank, where they were arrested in the parking lot by the police, who had been notified.

The suspects, who one police sergeant describes as “not too bright,” were charged with robbery and threatening.
