The dopey robber who stuffed cash down his pants, then watched it all blow away in the wind - Manchester Evening News
He trousered the cash from a Droylsden travel agent, then dropped most of it trying to escape. Clearly he wasn't the brains of the operation
This is the moment bungling thieves dropped a bundle of cash they'd hidden down their trousers after robbing a travel agent.
A large wad of notes was blown into the air by a gust of wind just after two men carried out the raid.
Now police have released footage of the ‘hapless’ robbery, which happened in Droylsden last month.
The pair went into a travel agents on Queens Walk and demanded money from members of staff inside.
Threatened, the staff gave the two offenders money, which they stuffed down their trousers before fleeing towards Craven Street and getting into a silver car.
One of the suspects looks on as the stolen cash blows away in the wind
The incident happened shortly before 1pm on Saturday, March 17, and was captured on CCTV.
The footage shows the men leaving the scene, but as one of them attempts to waddle away with his trousers stuffed with cash, he's caught by a gust of wind, which send the notes flying into the air.
The offender then wanders around the road in a fruitless attempt to pick them up, narrowly avoiding cars which had pulled into the street, only for more notes to blow away.
He desperately tries to catch the money, narrowly avoiding moving cars
Detective Constable Phil Scargill of GMP’s Tameside borough, said: “This duo threatened innocent people working in the travel agents and should know their actions are utterly unacceptable.
