OLYMPIA, Wash., April 10 (UPI) -- Maybe his next target was Scrooge McDuck's vault.

Police in Washington state said they busted an alleged robber with an "unwise prop" -- a canvas bag printed with a dollar sign.


The Olympia Police Department said officers responded April 8 to a report of a robbery at a Subway restaurant on the west side of the city and employees told investigators the suspect indicated he had a weapon in his pocket and left with money from the cash register and a worker's cellphone.

The workers told police the man, who wore a red bandanna over his face, told them not to "do anything funny."

The man, who employees said fled with a shopping cart, was located near the Grocery Outlet. Police said he was pushing a shopping cart loaded with consumer goods and was carrying $100 cash and a cellphone matching the description of the device taken from the Subway worker.

The man also had a white canvas bag printed with a dollar sign tied to his pants.

There was no word on whether the suspect has ties to the Beagle Boys gang.
