Bank ‘thief’ needs brain loan

This is the dumbest bank robber on Long Island.

During the first of her two bungled bank jobs Sunday in Wantagh, she walked up to a teller and demanded $5,000 in cash.

But the bank worker hit her silent alarm and stalled the suspect — by telling her she had to fill out the proper withdrawal slip first.

The suspect actually went to fill out a slip but soon suspected the alarm was hit and fled empty-handed.

A half-hour later, the same woman allegedly tried to rob a second bank and was given a decoy bundle of money with dye in it. The ink exploded all over her and the dough. She dropped the cash and ran.

Anyone with information on the robberies should call Crime Stoppers at (800) 244-TIPS.
