Robber Barely Escapes

There's probably a "Fruit of the Loom" commercial in here somewhere.


Italian police are looking for a bank robber wearing nothing but his underpants.

He was one of two robbers who stole £4,500 in a raid on the Regionale Europea Bank in Valle Lomellina.

While making his getaway, he gave pursuing police officers the slip by taking off his clothes and jumping into a canal.

His 48-year-old partner was caught as he tried to swap his getaway car for another one of the same model and colour, reports the Tgcom news website.

The arrested man told police officers his partner ran off because he thought the car swap was not a good idea.

Italian police issued an appeal for information from anyone who had seen the man in his underpants. His accomplice was charged with robbery and the money recovered from the car.

Freom Ananova.
