From the Stupid Criminal of the Week Department: An attempted bank job unfolded Tuesday afternoon at a branch of the People’s Bank in Fairfield, CT. Authorities said a bank employee received a phone call from a person demanding that $100,000 in large bills be gathered, or there would be a “blood bath” if the orders were not carried out.

The employee hung up the phone and immediately called 911. The bank also initiated a lockdown but not before the caller’s accomplice was already inside. The accomplice handed a teller a note demanding money at the exact same time the bank employee was talking on the phone to the police. [CNN]
