A bare-chested would-be bank robber fled a Hamilton bank as staff laughed at his robbery attempt and demand for 50c.
Police said, the man, in his early 20s, entered the Victoria St TSB bank on Monday with a bandana over his lower face and demanded $10, the Waikato Times reported.
When the teller said she didn't have any money he asked for 50c before crouching into a starting race position and running from the bank.
A passing police officer caught the man, and he was later assessed by medical and mental health staff.
