2 bumbling bandits in Maryland attempt to rob funeral home, thinking it's a bank
2009-12-03
Two goons tried robbing a Maryland funeral home - apparently unaware getting cash there would be a stiff challenge.

The two men might have mistaken Lee Funeral Home, in Owings, for a bank next door, Calvert County cops say. The dunderheaded duo reportedly assaulted one funeral home worker, who sustained nonlife-threatening injuries.

An employee at the mortuary explained to the two men that they were not, in fact, in a bank, Lt. Steve Jones, of the Calvert Investigative Team, said.

The pair later robbed a Suntrust bank in neighboring Dunkirk, 5 miles away, where they stole cash and fired a shot at a bystander who tried getting a look at them, law enforcement officials believe.

The bumbling bandits' spree prompted the lockdown of four schools in the area. The crooks are still at-large.
