Chicago police have arrested a man who allegedly robbed a bank using a threatening note written on the back of his own pay cheque.
Police say 40-year-old Thomas Infante walked into the bank and gave a staff member a note saying, “Be Quick…Give your cash or I’ll shoot”.
He got $400 (£270), but left behind half of his note as he fled.
Detectives found the rest of the slip – complete with his name and home address – outside the bank’s front doors.
Mr Infante was later arrested at his home in Cary, Illinois. If convicted of bank robbery, he faces up to 20 years in prison.
