And finally… Russian haul

A man has been arrested in Russia after taking advantage of a local ATM which was wrongly filled with $100 notes.

The unnamed man tried to withdraw 500 rubles - worth around £6 - from the machine but was given a $100 note instead.

Prosecutors say he then made “20 cash operations, as a result of which he illegally received 20 bills, in denominations of 100 U.S. dollars each, causing damage to the bank in the amount of 134,019 rubles 60 kopecks”.

It turns out the ATM had earlier been accidentally loaded with the wrong notes by workers.
