Man attempts to rob bank with spoon

12 November 2009

Bank staff in Lubin, Poland, burst out laughing when a would-be robber threatened them with a spoon.

After the man charged through the doors and shouted: "This is a stick-up", staff and customers initially threw themselves to the floor.

When they spotted his "weapon" and began laughing, the robber fled empty handed.

Police spokeswoman Renata Laszczka-Rusek said: "It's a weird one but he broke the law and we want to find him."
