Stupid Criminals: A Bank Robber Told a Teller to Deposit the Money in His Account

In this edition of Stupid Criminals, we find a man who tries to get the money he is stealing deposited into his own account.

According to Kent Online, a 61-year-old guy in England named Paul Neaverson tried to rob a bank with a knife, and demanded $800 in cash.

The teller said she didn't have that much in her drawer, which wouldn't stop most bank robbers, but Paul said okay, and just left.

At that point he probably should have figured the cops were looking for him, and try to get as far away as possible.  But instead, he walked around the corner, and tried to rob another bank.

Only difference was that this time he was prepared in case they didn't have enough money. He told the teller he would either take cash or they could just transfer the 800 bucks into his bank account.

It's not clear if he had time to give them his account number or not, because a customer grabbed the knife from him, and he ran out empty handed again.

Police eventually arrested him nearby.

This story happened back in March, but a judge has just sentenced him to two years in prison for it.
