SOMERVILLE, N.J., Nov. 29 (UPI) -- It appears the 'robber' spotted by police inside a bank in Somerset County, N.J., was actually a cardboard figure, authorities say.
The cutout kept police officers at bay for about 90 minutes Thursday night, The (Newark) Star-Ledger reported. Officers showed up in force outside the PNC Bank in Montgomery Township about 8:40 p.m. when the bank's alarm went off, county prosecutor Wayne Forrest said.
They thought they saw at least one person through the bank's blind-covered windows, prompting them to seal off the area to traffic and evacuate people from three nearby apartment buildings.
When efforts to make contact with the "intruder" with bullhorns failed, officers tried to phone inside the building, Forrest said.
Finally, a SWAT team went inside, only to learn the "person" officers had seen was actually a full-size cardboard figure, the prosecutor said.

They should ban all full sized cardboard cutouts!!
Well, when they ban all full-sized cardboard cutouts, then only the criminals will have full-sized cardboard cutouts.
"You're right Joe. Go get the SWAT team"
"Say, should we ask anyone from the bank if there's anything unusual about this whole thing?"
"Did I just tell you to get the $%#^ing SWAT team or not?"
"That guy ain't moved a muscle in 7 hours Cheif"

SWAT Officer Dickens: "Let's go in there with guns a'blazin'. It is obvious that this guy has killed all of the innocent hostages. In fact, let's just call BillyBob's Demolition and Bait Shop and take the whole thing down."
Chief: "Sounds like a plan."

They should ban stupid cops
BillyBob's sells bait now? Sweet!
Yeah. It's shark bait. You bring in you dead bodies and you get 50% off your next purchase of C4 or CompB.
