This is stuff that films are made of. The cops are frantically searching for two suspects who robbed a Chicago bank dressed as nuns recently. CS tells you about other bank robbers who have come up with ingenious disguises:
>>u00a0Last month two men wearing a balaclava and Halloween mask entered the Barclays Bank in Leeds and threatened the staff, stole a sufficient amount of money before escaping.
>>u00a0Fake Barack Obama has robbed many banks in Austria over the last few years and each time he has managed to escape. He hides his face under a rubber mask of the USu00a0 President. He got away with 10,000 euros in his last theft in January 2011 of a bank in Handeberg.
>>u00a0In April 2010, a white bank robber confused cops by disguising himself as a black guy while carrying out bank heists in Ohio. 30-year-old Conrad Zdzierak would rob a bank in a high-quality mask, then take it off as he drove to his next target. He managed to hit four banks within just three hours.u00a0
>>u00a0In July 2010, an armed robber dressed as Star Wars character Darth Vader was hunted by cops for raiding an NY bank in broad daylight.
