American Gothic Robbery
A man wearing sunglasses and a mask waited until there were no customers in the Security Federal Bank in Aiken, South Carolina, and then went in with a four foot long rusty pitchfork and threatened the employees. He robbed the bank and got away with his loot, dropping the pitchfork as he ran behind the bank through a golf course to a fast food restaurant parking lot. Bloodhounds tracked him that far, but witnesses said he got into a white van and drove away. No further information was available.
They still have the "weapon"and are hoping to trace fingerprints.
