Man robs two small banks of over GHC 40k while disguising avocado as a grenade

An ‘armed’ robber from Israel tested his victims’ intelligence by successfully robbing two banks armed with a black avocado.

The 47-year-old Israeli first staged his laughable heist at Beersheba by giving a cashier a note riddled with errors demanding for money.

According to Times of Israel, the man unleashed a black avocado which he claimed was a grenade when the cashier refused to dish out the money.

And in that short moment, he gained a whopping GHC 24,000.

The robber then walked away with his killing and struck again five days later. This time, at a different bank.

Draped in a black and white hat coupled with a brown jacket and black gloves, the thug entered a different branch of that bank ready to shake things up.

Using the same technique, the robber made away with GHC 17,000.

Authorities discovered his tool of trade was actually a black avocado that had been painted to look like a grenade.

Imagine finding out you dished out thousands of cash just because you feared being blown up using an avocado.
