A robber made off with almost $8,000 from two Israeli banks after holding them up armed with an avocado.
日前，一名抢劫犯手持牛油果在两家以色列银行抢走了近8000美元。
The 47-year-old man first struck a bank in the southern city of Beersheba in mid-May when he handed a cashier a misspelled note demanding money.
据《以色列时报》报道，5月中旬，这名47岁的男子先是袭击了南部城市贝尔谢巴一家邮政银行，他递给柜员一张带有拼写错误的纸条，要求柜员给钱。
When the Postal Bank worker hesitated, the man pulled out what he said was a grenade and threatened to throw it if she refused.
当柜员犹豫不决时，劫匪拿出手中的“手榴弹”威胁说不给钱就扔出去。
The woman emptied her cash drawer and the robber made off with $4,450, the Times of Israel reported.
柜员吓得把收银机抽屉里的钱全交了出来，劫匪携4450美元逃离现场。

Five days later, the same man walked into a different branch of the same bank in the same city and repeated the stunt. This time he made off with $3,300.
5天后，该劫匪跑进了这家银行在贝尔谢巴的另一家分行故伎重施，这回又成功劫走3300美元。
Police managed to use mobile phone data from a device the man was carrying to track him down. He was arrested, and it was discovered that the "grenade" he was holding was actually an avocado painted black.
通过对劫匪手机数据进行定位，警方最终成功追踪到并逮捕了他，才发现他抢劫时拿的哪是什么“手榴弹”，分明是一个涂黑了的牛油果。
The man has a lengthy criminal history, including a previous three-year stint in jail for robbery.
该劫匪有着很长的犯罪历史，包括之前曾因抢劫入狱三年。
