Hum Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 WINTER PARK, FL -- Law enforcement officials say a man was injured by an exploding dye-pack that went off in his pants' pocket shortly after he robbed a bank near Orlando. Authorities say the robber gave a Winter Park Bank of America teller a note demanding money on Tuesday morning. After the worker gave him an unknown amount of money, he then fled through a nearby shopping center. When the dye-pack was activated, he tried to hide from police in a nearby restaurant, before being forced outside the businesses' doors by employees. The restaurant's workers then chased him down and detained him in front of another establishment. Winter Park Police arrived shortly afterwards and placed him into custody. source Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/990548-dye-pack-explodes-in-robbers-pants/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hum Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 You'd think he would have at least brought a plastic bag. What a dunce. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/990548-dye-pack-explodes-in-robbers-pants/#findComment-593901764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbandonedTrolley Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Lol wow.. wonder if any security cams caught the detonation. Bet that stung a bit. Possible second degree burns it seems. I realise this is a different case but situation is similar.

Hum Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 i don't get it? the exploding dye is in the stack of money or how does this work? They usually have a bill near the bottom of a stack of money, rigged. It is supposed to explode at the Exit, or just outside. It makes skin, clothes, and bills, a bright orange -- useless.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I saw this exact thing happen near Shreveport when I was a teenager....there were no cams then, but I saw it happen....the guy was caught not even a block away. I had the most ultimate laugh! :laugh: 'Twas a conversation piece for years for my buds and I....he was blue, like the old intel men...quite a laugh Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/990548-dye-pack-explodes-in-robbers-pants/#findComment-593901810 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokthraka Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Wouldn't putting the money in a lead case solve this problem? At least if there was any sort of tracker Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/990548-dye-pack-explodes-in-robbers-pants/#findComment-593903006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
