Get Away!

‘ERNEST Di Falco, 53, is a bank robber. We know this because he was caught after his last caper went wrong.

Having scoped out and finally invaded the Bank of New York branch in Rutherford, New Jersey, Di Falco asked a cashier give him a lift to his getaway car.

The staff member could not or would not help, but offered to order a taxi for the villain instead. And when it arrived the cashier was able to take down the number plate and call the fuzz.

To compound his idiocy, one cashier recognised him as a former employee of a nearby pizza shop. He was soon caught and has been charged with armed robbery, which carries up to 20 years in jail.’
