Halloween hold-up
German police called out to a "hold-up" discovered the "bankrobbers" were in fact children in Halloween costumes.
Two good samaritans separately spotted a group of suspicious looking figures waiting in a car with tinted windows outside a bank in the town of Bad Zwischenahn on Monday (30.10.06) and immediately called police.
When officers arrived the car had left. When authorities picked up the vehicle two hours later they quickly realised their mistake.
Officer Juergen Harms said: "We got a call that there were ‘masked people in front of a bank’ and assumed it was a hold-up." "After we brought the man and the children in we were able to quickly establish it was a case of mistaken identity." "It was hard for the witnesses to see that it was three children wearing Halloween masks."
