7 hilarious yet unlucky ways black criminals were caught, thanks to their foolishness

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.
