Robbers locked in bank
Three women remained jailed after a failed robbery attempt trapped two of them inside a bank in Indianapolis USA.
One of the robbers showed a note demanding money to Chase bank teller Thelma Bunton, 58, but then grabbed the note back from the teller and headed for the bank's exit, according to police.
The bank has separate doors for entry and exit, each with its own vestibule. As the robber exited, the teller pressed a button to lock the exit doors, trapping her.
Moments later, her accomplice began to enter the bank, and the alert teller pressed another button that locked her in the entry vestibule, police said.
