Dim Crims: Pothead chainsaw robber arrested

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]
