Bank robbers throw it all away In an unusual car chase in Los Angeles recently, bank robbers who were escaping from the police threw the stolen money out of the car window. win dow. The incident began in a northern suburb of the city where four men had committed an armed bank robbery. The robbers escaped in a stolen vehicle and two of them, who have not yet been caught, managed to jump out of the ca r. All along the route, one of the suspects, sitting in the back seat of the car, threw handfuls of bank notes not es out of the window. A spokesperson for the police said they thought that the thieves had been trying to encourage people to come out into the street, which, they hoped, would have blocked the path of the patrol cars. And many people did come out to pick up the money that was raining down in their streets. As one delighted witness said, ‘It’s not every day that robbers give you money, is it?’. The chase continued into downtown Los Angeles, where the vehicle left le ft the main road and drove through the narrow streets of the city’s southern areas. Video footage shows the vehicle driving dri ving through roadworks to avoid waiting at red traffic lights, and a nd even going up onto the pavement so that terrified pedestrians had to jump out of the way. One officer whose foot was run over was, fortunately, the only person who was hurt in the incident. It is not clear whether the driver who finally ended the chase did so deliberately. A large pickup truck that turned out of a side street blocked bloc ked the path of the two bank robbers, which finally forced the criminals to stop. In a dramatic scene, filmed by TV helicopters, a large crowd gathered as police officers holding guns pulled two men from the getaway vehicle. Several hundred people, people , many of whom had seen the drama on their TV screens, gathered around the police at the crime scene and city police came to help control the crowds. The police are urging people to return the stolen money, so far without any success.
