Man In Homemade Armoured Underpants Arrested For Bank Robbery.

To Portland, Oregon, where Mark Fischer has been arrested for attempting to break into an ATM machine.

When police arrested him, Fischer tossed pepper spray at them. In his backpack they found an acetylene torch, large knife and stun gun. The 32-year-old was wearing not one, but two ballistic vests. But the most notable part of this caper is that Fishers was wearing bullet-proof underpants.

These were not off-the-shelf armoured knickers, but normal pants into which Fischer (or his mum, perhaps) had sewn metal plates.
