Police were called to a local 7-Eleven store in Ipswich, Australia, after reports that a chainsaw-wielding suspect, wearing a flowerpot on his head to disguise his identity, made a memorable attempt to rob the store. Workers at the convenience store say around 4:30 a.m. Steele "lunged at them" with the chainsaw and then attacked several display racks and a window while demanding money.Police say things got even more bizarre when Steele's pants dropped "exposing his buttocks" to the shocked store employees. Instead of handing over cash, employees fled to a back room.
Steele allegedly then gave up and left with only a bottle of soda. He didn't get far. A police officer responding to reports of the robbery noticed Steele walking down a nearby street and arrested him. [Source] [BJS]
