    Police arrest robbery suspect who made floating escape:

    Remember the bank robber who used craigslist to enlist decoys? He’s allegedly been caught.

    Police arrested 28-year-old Anthony Curcio for the robbery of an armored car in Monroe, Washington. If you’ll recall he used a craigslist ad that said he was hiring workers and for all of them to show up wearing…

    “Yellow vest, safety goggles, a respirator mask… and, if possible, a blue shirt,

    Then when all hell broke loose he was able to make his escape by allegedly intertubing down the Skykomish River.

    A citizen found items in the trash that were used in the robbery and noticed a silver SUV speeding off. The citizen wrote down the license plate and gave it to police.

  • Bank robber uses craigslist to recruit decoys

    Bank car robber escapes on Skykomish River:

    A man who robbed a bank in Monroe, Washington used craigslist to set up an elaborate escape.

    He took out an employment ad on craigslist and told people who responded to it to all show up in the same clothes. They were all told to wear a safety vest, safety goggles, a respirator mask, and a blue shirt. That just happened to be what the bank robber wore.

    Police are investigating the craigslist link.

    However like I’ve said before it shows how unreliable even the paid job ads are.
