Albert Bailey
Phone in advance
Sometimes you just want things in order when you arrive at your target. In 2010, Albert Bailey, 27, phoned a bank in advance to demand $100,000 in large bills be gathered, or there would be a “bloodbath“.
The police arrived at the scene and the bank was put on lockdown. But it was a bit too late. Bailey’s accomplice, a 16-year-old boy, was already in the bank and had handed over a note to a teller. After collecting $900, they left the bank only to walk straight into cops.
They were charged with first-degree robbery and threatening in the first degree.
