Darwin Olympics: Guy Uses Avocado to Rob Banks

Meanwhile in Israel . . .

Some dude (47) robbed at least two banks while armed with a grenade.

He scored about $4,500 in the first robbery, and another $3,300 in the second robbery.

Authorities struggled to ID him from security footage because dude had on a hat, glasses and an eye patch to help hide his face, but were able to locate him after looking at cell phone activity at both banks — dude’s phone was the only one active at both locations during the robberies.

Here’s the thing, though . . . robber dude was never actually armed with a grenade. It was an avocado!!

This isn’t the first run in with the law for avocado-grenade dude, either. Turns out he has a record, having spent a few years in jail for a previous robbery.

Currently, there’s no word on how much time he’s looking at for his avocado robberies.
