Woman Robs Bank Fooling People She Had Bomb, Was Actually Can Of Spaghetti Sauce

It turns out that a woman had spaghetti sauce—not a bomb— when she robbed a bank in Clinton Township Saturday.


Police say the woman, who was about 60 years old, placed a cloth bag on the counter of the Fifth Third Bank at 34564 Harper Road just before 11:30 a.m and demanded money from the teller saying there was a bomb inside the bag.


“It did look like there was a hard object in there,” Clinton Township Lt. Eric Reincke said. “But it was folded over so you couldn’t see what was inside.”


Bank employees left and the Michigan State Police bomb squad scanned the bag.


“It turned out that it was a couple of cans of spaghetti sauce inside the bag,” Reincke said.
