The old strap-the-bomb-to-the-hostage trick

A friend (who I convinced to get his Florida CWP) alerted me to this:

Thugs take teller and his father hostage, strap (alleged) bomb to teller and send him to his bank to grab all the money he can. The bad guys got their money and split in the teller's car, not caught yet. Teller not in clear yet either.


added: Odd. They mention a similar attempt with a fake bomb in california, but don't mention the pizza guy who was killed in a robbery attempt by the bomb strapped to his neck. (The pizza guy was in on the robbery, but thought the bomb was fake. His buddies doublecrossed him).
