NUN'S ON THE RUN: HEIST MIMICS BEN AFFLECK FILM

REAL LIFE

THE MOVIE

DRESSED as nuns, the masked raiders walked into the Chicago bank  in a heist that looked like a carbon copy of Ben Affleck film "The Town."
FBI officers were stunned by the CCTV footage from the Palos Heights, CA banks which showed a man and a woman wearing eerie plastic faced disguises with slits for eyes, similar to those  worn by robbers in the 2010 film.
Cops said the suspects pulled out handguns and forced bank workers to hand over cash before they drove off just before closing time at 1:58pm on Sunday afternoon.
Jumping over the counter they ordered a bank teller and the branch manager to the vault where a Nike duffel bag was filled with money.
Then they made quick getaway in a silver four-door Chevrolet, which was seen driving north, according to police.

No customers were in the bank at the time of the robbery and cops are not disclosing how much money was taken.Officers described the female suspect as a black woman, about 5’5 tall, wearing black boots, white gloves and armed with a semi-automatic pistol.
The male suspect is described as a black man, about 5’7 inches tall, wearing black-and-white gym shoes, black-coloured gloves and armed with a revolver.
