Robbers bagging Grocery banks

Increasingly, grocery banks (i.e. banks inside of supermarkets) have increasingly become the target of robbers. Police believe grocery bank robbers like to blend in the crowded environment of the store, which typically has multiple exits. That contrasts the quiet, formal environment of a standalone bank, which usually has one entrance.

Now we need you to wait ten (10) minutes
and then tell your manager
to call the Police
and evacuate the bank.
Tell there are four (4) explosive devices in the bank,
we don’t want anyone to get hurt.
You can feel good you saved yourself,
your family
and a lot of people in the bank.

You are still being watched.
Go down Gray St Cross the road,
there is an ANZ bank
with some recycle bins outside
put the money on top of them and
go back inside the bank,
if you look back
we will kill you and your family.
When you are back in the bank
read note Three (3).

We are watching you so do not try to be a hero and don’t freak out …
This is not a joke so do exactly what you are told. We need you to put one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) or as much money as you can in a bag or envelope and bring it outside, do not talk to anyone or get stopped or not only will we kill YOU and blow up the bank we will also kill your FAMILY.
Take note two (2) with you outside. When you get outside WITH the money read note two (2).
Do what it says or your family dies.
YOU HAVE 6 MINUTES.
