Mesmerising? The 'hypnotist' in action
|
Police in Italy have issued footage of a man who is suspected of hypnotising supermarket checkout staff to hand over money from their cash registers.
In every case, the last thing staff reportedly remember is the thief leaning over and saying: "Look into my eyes", before finding the till empty.
In the latest incident captured on CCTV, he targeted a bank at Ancona in northern Italy, then calmly walked out.
A female bank clerk reportedly handed over nearly 800 euros (£630).
The cashier who was shown the video footage has no memory of the incident, according to Italian media, and only realised what had happened when she saw the money missing.
CCTV from the bank showed her apparently being hypnotised by the man, according to the reports.
Italian police believe the suspect could be of Indian or North African extraction.
Hey, our govt been doing this to us for YEARS now!!
Don’t gaze me Bro!
Worked real good at the pole dance club last night...
A regular Svengali!
I saw some show on the Discovery Channel where a “hypnotist” was using techniques to get stuff without paying full price. Basically he would hand over some cash and then distract the clerk by asking questions involving numbers. It was pretty cool
ROTFL!
“You know you want it baby.”
