Robbing A Bank By Phone

In the same line as the story of the American woman who held up a bank while chatting on her cell phone, the New Zealand police have made an arrest after a man rang a bank manager demanding money two days after robbing the same south Auckland ban.

"Two days after robbing a bank in person, he decided they hadn't given him enough money, so he rang them up from his phone and demanded the manager meet him somewhere with more money. [via TechDirt]
