A man in Monroe, Washington robbed an armoured car outside a bank and found a unique escape route: inner tubing down the Skykomish River.
The robber managed to elude police who searched the area on foot and by helicopter.
Mitch Ruth, who works across the street from the bank, said the robber sprayed the armored car driver with pepper spray and wrestled a bag of money away from the driver.
The robber was wearing a surgical mask and wig, said Ruth, who tried to chase the man down but lost him in the woods.
"He was a lot faster than I was," Ruth said.
