From Times News Reports
Leaf it to New Hampshire, where a bank was held up by a man disguised as a tree.
Just as the Citizen Bank in Manchester opened Saturday morning, a man with leafy boughs duct-taped to his head and torso walked in and robbed the place. Police said the man didn’t mention a weapon, just demanded cash, and was given an undisclosed amount.
Although much of the man’s face was obscured, someone reported recognizing him from the bank’s security camera and called police.
James Coldwell, 49, of Manchester, was arrested in the case.
