2 Thieves fooled bank alarm system by wrapping themselves in FOIL but they forgot about the CCTV monitor

Brazil, 2 burglars wrapped themselves up in a foil to fool a bank's alarm system.

It worked as the alarm did not sound, but an armed police response unit was mobilized after the men were seen moving around inside the bank through CCTV monitoring system.

An accomplice believed to have been acting as a lookout was arrested, but the two men whose faces and body were hidden in the foil  disguise got away without any cash.

Police released pictures of the men crawling around the bank floor looking more like spacemen than robbers - although they might have been the first to admit they wouldn’t be easily recognisable without their disguises.

The pair left several items at the scene in their hurry to get away, including blowtorches they are believed to have planned to use to force open a safe, although the tin foil they wrapped themselves in was nowhere to be found. They fled the scene in a white sports car.
A local police spokesman said: “They wanted to make sure the alarms didn’t detect their presence by using the tin foil, but staff at the bank’s CCTV control HQ saw them moving around and alerted police.
