Mama Mia, That's A Saucy Way To Rob A Bank

A woman who robbed a Clinton Township bank cooked up quite a scheme, as Elisha Anderson describes in the Free Press.

Police say the woman, who was about 60 years old, placed a cloth bag on the counter of the Fifth Third Bank at 34564 Harper Road just before 11:30 a.m Saturday and demanded money from the teller saying there was a bomb inside the bag.

“It did look like there was a hard object in there,” Clinton Township Lt. Eric Reincke said. “But it was folded over so you couldn’t see what was inside.”

After the bandit left with an undisclosed amount of cash, state police bomb squad specialists scanned the bag.

“It turned out that it was a couple of cans of spaghetti sauce inside the bag,” Reincke said.
