And finally…here’s my passport, now give me all ya got!

A bungling bank robber has been nabbed in Moscow after his heist unravelled when he left his passport with the cashier.

The 22-year-old man, an online salesman, handed his passport to the cashier in accordance with the security methods used by the bank with a note inside that read: “Give me the money or I’ll shoot everybody”.

CCTV footage also showed the robber holding a handgun in his right hand, which he revealed to the cashier.



However, the plan went awry as the cashier fainted in shock behind the protective glass, still clutching the robber’s passport in her hand.

Unsure of what to do next, the robber ran out of the bank, leaving his passport behind with the clerk. He was also not wearing a mask or disguise of any kind, The Daily Mail Online has reported.

However, despite the authorities possessing his passport and personal details, the robber was not arrested until two months after the incident and has also not been named by the authorities.

The robber later told detectives that he got the idea of robbing the bank from a movie, and had bought a fake gun on the way to the bank.

If convicted of armed robbery, the man may face up to eight years in prison.
