Moldovan police are hunting a con man who uses hypnotism to steal from unwitting bank tellers, Deutsche Presse-Agentur quoted Infotag news agency as reporting.
The suspect, identified as Vladimir Kozak, 49, was alleged to have bilked more than $US30,000 ($39,400) from bank employees unable to resist his powers, police said.
One victim told police that Kozak's technique was to start a friendly conversation, establish eye contact, and then put her in a hypnotic state. The teller then agreed to hand over all the cash in her till.
