Dough! Hapless thieves mistake bread for cash
Permalink  

MELBOURNE, Australia - Two Australian robbers thought they were hauling away a big sack of cash from the Cuckoo Restaurant, but it turned out to be bread rolls and one of them accidentally shot the other in the buttocks during the heist.

Benjamin Jorgensen, 38, and his accomplice Donna Hayes, 36, were sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty to robbing the restaurant in the southern Australian city of Melbourne on April 1 last year.

During the April Fools Day holdup, Jorgensen grabbed what he believed was a bag with the Cuckoo's daily take of about U.S. $26,000 in cash, but later found it was full of bread rolls, the Victorian County Court heard.

Story continues below

He also fired his gun accidentally during the heist, shooting Hayes in the buttocks.

Judge Roland Williams told the robbers they were a "pair of fools," before sentencing Hayes to eight years in prison and Jorgensen to seven.

Earlier this week, defense lawyer Greg Thomas said Jorgensen had been under the influence of drugs at the time, had made a full admission to police and was remorseful, News Ltd. newspapers reported

Why is the one who "accidentally" shot the other in the buttocks getting less time than the other? That doesn't make a lot of sense.

How do you shoot your partner in crime in the buttocks? I really think these guys need to go to a training session on how to not be dumb.

Hahahaha a classic tale of karma. Seriously....no one checked in the bag of bread before they walked out of it? they just assumed a large bag of money would be sitting out? Pretty much the definition of complete idiot. These theives got what they deserved...and made a pretty funny story biggrin

I'd think a bag full of $26,000 in cash would feel a bit different than some bread rolls.

I agree with Kailey... wouldn't a sack of $26,000 weigh just a bit more than a sack of bread. Then again, if these guys are dumb enough to do this, maybe they're dumb enough not to know the difference.

This is pretty funny and I'm glad they got caught and confessed. I'm not surprised to learn they were under the influence of drugs.
