Article #11 - The wrong kind of bread 笨蛋，偷錯袋了啦!

A pair of bumbling thieves stole a bag of bread rolls from a restaurant, then one of them accidentally shot his accomplice .

Benjamin Jorgensen and Donna Hayes attempted to rob the Cuckoo Restaurant in Melbourne, Australia on April 1 last year. But they escaped with the wrong kind of dough. The thieves thought that they had stolen AUS$30,000 (NT$833,900), but actually they had picked up a bag of bread rolls by mistake.

But the mistakes did not end there --- Jorgensen, 38, then made for the wrong getaway car. He was carrying a sawn-off shotgun , and he accidentally shot his accomplice, Hayes, 36, in the hip. Jorgensen was caught as he fumbled with his keys to open the car.

Hayes, who was Jorgensen's girlfriend at the time, had to stay in a hospital for a month. Jorgensen has admitted that he was to blame for Hayes' injury. Both admitted carrying out armed robbery at Victoria Court in Melbourne.

Judge Roland Williams compared the thieves to an old silent movie series about bumbling policemen: "I've heard of the Keystone Cops - this is Keystone Robbers," he said. The judge also said that even though the criminals were useless, it didn't make their crime any less serious.
