It's nice to know these things don't only happen in the movies. Even the police were laughing!
Gang in series of robbery gaffesA gang of Brazilian robbers were arrested after a robbery attempt went wrong.
The gang tried to rob a shop in the Pituba area of Salvador in the north east of the country. But as they ran into the shop, one of the gang dropped a gun which went off, scaring the other gang members into fleeing.
Terra Noticias Populares says one robber accidentally fired his gun and was hit in the leg as the group tried to escape on motorcycles. The other gang members then either crashed or fell off their bikes as they looked to see what happened their colleague.
A police spokesperson said: "It was the funniest and easiest criminals to catch. They were so goofy and messy, we were all laughing."
