RICHMOND, VA. - It looks like the attempted bank robber had
all the cameras accounted for except for one. Bizarrely enough,
on April Fool's Day, a picture was being taken for an alumni
magazine that captured the image of an attempted robbery in
the background. Bank executive Spencer Hamrick, Jr., was in
the lobby of a Wachovia bank posing while, just behind him,
his bank was being robbed. The photographer thought the
stickup guys was a customer and would provide a nice back-
ground for the shoot. The thief apparently passed a note to
a teller demanding money and claimed he had a gun. Hamrick
thought it was an April Fool's prank. The robber is in three
of the photographer's pictures and was identified by police,
while the bank's cameras failed to capture any images of the
suspect.
