The daring ruse worked and the alarm didn't sound - but an armed police response unit was mobilised after they were picked up moving around inside the bank in their odd disguises on a central CCTV monitoring system.

An accomplice believed to have been acting as a lookout was arrested - but the two men whose faces were hidden under their head-to-toe disguise got away.

goal was to defeat IR cams?

Seems mute, as it wouldn’t also prevent motion detection.

Yeah, but the mind control specialists of the Great World Order couldn’t control or even read their minds.

Foil can fool an infrared motion detector, but not microwave. Most modern motions use a combination of the two.

Not sure how suppositories protect those sensitive areas of the body, but if you say so. LOL

A two-headed man held up the First National Bank.

Employees of the bank could not give a description of the man, because he had a pair of panty hose pulled over his heads.

The daring ruse worked and the alarm didn't sound ...

The robbers look like a couple of baked potatoes stumbling around the bank.

This will reflect badly on their street cred when they get to prison.
