Hong Kong bank robber tries to use public bus as getaway vehicle

A bank robber was in police custody Thursday in Hong Kong after trying to flag down a public bus to flee the scene of a crime. The 48 year old robber used a gun at a branch of the Standard Chartered Bank in the Kwai Fong district Wednesday and ran out with 66,000 HKD ($8,500 US dollars).

An employee alerted police using an alarm button hidden beneath a desk. The robber was chased by officers as he left the bank, a police spokesman said.
