A white-bearded man robbed a bank two days before Christmas before throwing the money in the air and enthusiastically wishing passers-by a merry Christmas, witnesses have said.
Police said “an older white male” robbed the Academy Bank in Colorado Springs on Monday lunchtime.
“He robbed the bank, came out, threw the money all over the place,” witness Dion Pascale told Colorado’s 11 News.
“He started throwing money out of the bag and then said, ‘Merry Christmas!'”
Witnesses said the hirsute suspect then wandered over to a nearby Starbucks coffee shop, sat down in front of it, and waited to be arrested.
In a particularly festive gesture, the passers-by are reported to have scooped up all the money from the street and taken it back inside the bank.
