Man robs New Hampshire bank disguised as a tree.
BOSTON -- Police were looking for a man who robbed the Citizen's Bank on
Elm Street in Manchester, New Hampshire on Saturday disguised as a tree!
The man walked into the bank with tree branches duct taped on his arms.
At the beginning the man waited patiently in line as any other customer,
after awhile of waiting the man started to demand money from the teller.
The teller filled the bag with cash and the robber, who showed no weapon,
fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Manchester Police describe the man as a white male, between 45 and 50
years old, wearing glasses and a blue shirt
Though the branches and leaves obscured much of the man's face,
someone who saw images from the bank's security camera recognized the
robber and called police.
James Coldwell, 49, of Manchester, was arrested at his home early Sunday morning.
Police said the disguise was the most bizarre they'd ever seen.
