A GERMAN MAN has been sentenced to seven years in prison after attempting to rob a bank branch that had been closed for 17 years and is now a physiotherapist’s practice.
The 57-year-old grabbed a woman who was passing by the building and forced her into the offices at gunpoint, where he demanded a €10,000 ransom, according to Der Bild.
However, discovering to his disappointment that this was not actually a bank, he then forced a woman to withdraw €400 from a nearby ATM and hand the money over to him, according to the Local.
Police recovered a toy gun from the scene with his fingerprints on it, leading to his arrest.
