Bank Robber Suspect Becomes Easy Target When Dye Pack Explodes

A man suspected of robbing of a bank became an easy target for police after a red dye pack exploded, covering him in red dye as he was running down the street on a late Friday morning. After the attempted robbery, he was caught just a few hundred yards away from the bank.

He was carrying a bag that was stacked with fake bills and dropped it while being pursued, all the while, drinking a beer as he ran. People apparently followed the suspect and when police apprehended him, they took him back into the bank so he could be identified by witnesses. The investigation is ongoing and charges are pending.
