And finally…public enemy number nun
Authorities in the American state of Pennsylvania are potentially searching for a pair of nuns in connection with an attempted a bank robbery.
The duo dressed as nuns tried stage their heist at a branch of Citizens Bank in the town of Tannersville on the afternoon of Monday, August 28.
The robbers will have to maintain their vow of poverty, however, after they were unable to seize any cash.
The police stated that the “nuns,” who wore the familiar black habits and veils, were perhaps spooked by the alarm system that the tellers set off.
They also said it remains unclear if the persons of interest are actual nuns or they only donned the garb as a cunning ruse.
One of the robbers also wore sunglasses obscuring the their face further.
The FBI has now taken over the case from the local Pocono Township police and launched a nun-hunt.
Authorities could not determine if the robbers escaped on foot or had a vehicle waiting for them while the robbery was in progress.
The branch of Citizens Bank, a branch which was at one time owned by Royal Bank of Scotland before its post-bailout sale, remains closed as investigations continue.
The FBI is supposedly looking at surveillance photos to determine the identities of the robbers.
Allegedly, the suspects could be Hispanic women of medium build, around 5 feet to 5 feet two inches tall.
