Bungling robber caught minutes after stealing £25,000 from bank across the road from his house

advertisement

A 'stupid' robber was caught within minutes of stealing £25,000 from a bank when he fled to his own house opposite.

Christopher Walker is today starting a jail sentence after he attacked a security guard with a stick and took the money in broad daylight.

Witnesses watched as he then sprinted into his own home across the road from the Lloyds TSB bank in Birmingham's Lea Village.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Lesson 1: Pick a bank that isn't within a few yards of your house.
