Robber Hypnotises Supermarket Staff Into Handing Over Money

TO an Italian supermarket in Ancona where a man is eyeballing the cashier.

Police have released video footage of a man who has been “hypnotizing supermarket checkout staff and getting them to hand over the cash”.

Says the Mail: “In every case, according to reports, the last thing staff remember is a man leaning over and saying ‘Look into my eyes’ before suddenly finding the till is empty.”

The identity of the man is not know, but the Mail says he “bears an uncanny resemblance to Rasputin and Saddam Hussein (both dead – at least we believe they are) and “Matt Lucas”, whose “hypnotist character on Little Britain is also fond of the phrase ‘Look into my eyes’”.

Mr Lucas has yet to be interviewed by Italian police, but a shoplifter apprehended in central Coventry is complaining of being made to do it by Jeremy Beadle…
