A 33-year-old British man has pleaded guilty to attempted robbery after
threatening a bank cashier in Poland with a gun that was drawn on a
piece of paper.
The unnamed man attempted to carry out the heist on 11 August in the Polish capital Warsaw.
He entered the bank on the central Jerozilimskie Avenue at 9:00am and marched straight up to one of the cashiers.
The man then pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, revealing a drawing of a gun to the female employee. He then brandished a second sheet of paper, on which he had written a warning in broken Polish saying: “This is a robbery I have a gun give me all the money.” The woman calmly told the man to wait at the back of the queue, and the Briton duly obliged.
In the meantime, the cashier called the police and the would be assailant was arrested shortly after. Polish police have provided few details on the Briton, only saying he had lived in Germany for a year and had only been in Poland for a few hours before trying to rob the bank. The failed robber now faces up to 12 years behind bars.
