And finally… blind stupidity

A bank robber who disguised himself with a pillow case had to remove it mid-robbery when he realised he couldn’t see through it.

Matthew Davies, 47, forgot to make eye holes in the pillow case he put over his head while robbing a bank in the Scottish town of Dunfermline last year.

He threatened staff with a meat cleaver and made off with £1,980, but was followed home by a witness and subsequently arrested.

Police recovered the cash and the pillow case from his home.

Mr Davies pleaded guilty to a charge of assault and robbery at the High Court in Glasgow and has been remanded ahead of sentencing, the BBC reports.
