Southeast : RED-HANDED

The holdup--that part was easy. A man walked into Quaker City Savings in La Mirada on Wednesday, handed a teller a note saying, “This is a robbery,” and walked away with $511, Sheriff’s Deputy Vicki LoMonaco said. But the man will be playing Lady Macbeth for weeks. A hidden packet of blood-red dye exploded on his hands. It also covered the money. Try buying a pack of cigarettes with a red $50 bill.
