Armed and Deciduous: Man Robs Bank Disguised As... Tree

Branch robbery:

The man walked into the bank with tree branches duct taped on his arms and demanded money from the teller. The teller filled the bag with cash and the suspect took off. A dye pack inside the bag exploded.

Guards became suspicious when the "tree" began browsing pamphlets about opening up a money-market account. "Trees tend to be more conservative," a bank officer explained. "They prefer CDs."

Police have questioned three poplars and four larches, but as of yet the thief remains at large.

Thanks to Paul.
