A bungling British bandit has pleaded guilty to robbery after a bizarre incident that saw him attempt to use a pillowcase as a disguise, before removing it when he realised he had neglected to add holes for his eyes.
The High Court in Glasgow heard that Matthew Davies entereda bank in Dunfermline in September last year, carrying a meat cleaver in a pillowcase.
He pulled the meat cleaver from the pillowcase before putting the bedding item over his head, removing it when he found he couldn't see.
The 47-year-old then threatened staff and battered a glass partition with the cleaver, eventually leaving with £1,980 (NZ$3892).
A witness followed Davies as he left the bank, with Davies leading the witness back to his home.
