Man went into bank in southern Israeli city of Beersheba and demanded money. He held what he said was a grenade and threatened to throw it if staff refused. Robber went to another branch of the same bank five days later to repeat stunt.
He walked away with $8,000 before police tracked him down and found the explosive was actually an avocado he painted black.
The 47-year-old man, ... handed a cashier a misspelled note demanding money. When the Postal Bank worker hesitated, the man pulled out what he said was a grenade and threatened to throw it if she refused. ... The woman emptied her cash drawer and the robber made off with $4,450....
Five days later, - wearing a hat and glasses to avoid being caught on CCTV cameras - he walked into a different branch of the same bank in the same city and repeated the stunt. This time he made off with $3,300.
Police managed to use mobile phone data from a device the man was carrying to track him down.
The man has a lengthy criminal history, including a previous three-year stint in jail for robbery.

John Cleese needs to give seminars in Israel about how to defend oneself from people armed with fresh fruit!
Right now terrorists could open fruit stand and drive Israel into the sea!

I bet the avocado was equipped with a “silencer” and grenade launcher. Oh, and it was an AR-15 style avocado.
