Guest guest Posted May 5, 2001 Report Share Posted May 5, 2001 Hare Krishna Would-Be French Robber Caught Asking for Own Cash Updated 7:38 AM ET May 5, 2001 BORDEAUX, France (Reuters) - A bungling armed raider was caught trying to hold up a French post office after he tried withdraw money from his own account, post officials said on Friday. The would-be robber threatened the clerk at the post office in Bordeaux, southwest France, with a pistol and demanded $13,700. On being told the till contained nowhere near that amount, he lowered his demand to $6,800. When the clerk again refused, he asked to withdraw a more modest amount of cash from his own account. The clerk agreed and asked for his identity card to perform the transaction. The unnamed man in his thirties is being held by police.
