Robber Calls Bank to Say: ‘Thank You’
A robber called to say thanks after taking an undisclosed amount of money from a branch of the Bank of Nova Scotia, police in British Columbia said.
“Ten minutes after he had hit the bank, he called up and thanked them for their service and told them that the money will be well spent,” detective Bjorn Bjornson said Tuesday.
“At first he presented the teller with a withdrawal slip for $400, but it was illegible and he was asked to fill in the account number clearly. Then he produced an envelope bearing a badly written note. The teller got the message and filled it with money,” Bjornson said.
There was no sign of a weapon, but the officer quoted a teller as saying a gun might might have been mentioned in the note.
