You can’t make this stuff up.

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire — Just as the Citizen Bank branch opened Saturday morning, a man walked in with leafy boughs duct-taped to his head and torso, and robbed the place.

He really went out on a limb,” police Sgt. Ernie Goodno said Sunday.

Although the branches and leaves obscured much of the man’s face, someone who saw images from the bank’s security camera recognized the robber and called police.
