Bank Robber Tells Cashier to Put Money Into His Personal Account
Paul Neaverson, 61, walked in to a bank in the U.K. and held a knife to the cashier’s neck. The cashier managed to hit the panic button. Neaverson ran, to the closest bank, an HSBC just 400ft away, and tried to hold up that bank too. However he was caught out when he asked the clerk to transfer the money in to his own bank account. He did it because apparently, he needed money to book a flight for a job interview as a golf coach. Danny Moore, defending, told the court that his client has never been in trouble before and described his attempt to rob the banks as ‘ridiculous’. He said: ‘It was ridiculous. It only had one ending and here it is. He has led a law-abiding life and now finds himself staring down the barrel of a very long sentence indeed.’ Neaverson, of Rainham, Kent, pleaded guilty to two attempted robberies and possession of a blade. He will serve 2 years in jail. Get more here.
