In the Graubünden area of Switzerland, a pair of robbers challenged the notion of old age as the police reported on them after they successfully robbed a bank while donning masks that gave them the appearance of twin pensioners.
With prosthetic faces, flat caps, and thick-lens glasses, the thieves seemed innocuous as they made their way into the Raiffeisen branch.
Upon reaching the till, the duo revealed their weapons and demanded that the clerk surrender the cash, subsequently making a hasty escape through the front door, much to the surprise of the security guards.
A police spokesperson commented: ‘While they appeared elderly, it was clear that the masks were identical – they could easily have been twin grandads.
‘We believe they likely removed the masks and blended back into the crowds once they had fled the scene of the crime.
‘Their escape was so rapid that it’s safe to say they were not actually OAPs.’
Although the police were unable to determine the exact amount stolen, they estimated the robbers’ haul to be substantial.
