Prague police arrest bank robber

Prague police arrested a 50-year-old man on Monday who shortly before held up a bank in the centre of the city. The man walked in and threatened to set off what he said was a bomb; when the cashier refused to give him money, the man ran away. Police detained the man only three minutes after he left the bank, and closed the whole street for some ten minutes before establishing the bomb was fake. If convicted, the man will face up to ten years in jail.
