Dough! Hapless thieves mistake bread for cash

MELBOURNE, Australia - {AP} Two Australian robbers thought they were
hauling away a big sack of cash from the Cuckoo Restaurant, but it
turned out to be bread rolls — and one of them accidentally shot the
other in the buttocks during the heist.

Benjamin Jorgensen, 38, and his accomplice Donna Hayes, 36, were
sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty to robbing the restaurant in
the southern Australian city of Melbourne on April 1 last year.

During the April Fools Day holdup, Jorgensen grabbed what he believed
was a bag with the Cuckoo's daily take of about U.S. $26,000 in cash,
but later found it was full of bread rolls, the Victorian County Court
heard.

He also fired his gun accidentally during the heist, shooting Hayes in
the buttocks.

Judge Roland Williams told the robbers they were a "pair of fools,"
before sentencing Hayes to eight years in prison and Jorgensen to
seven.

Earlier this week, defense lawyer Greg Thomas said Jorgensen had been
under the influence of drugs at the time, had made a full admission to
police and was remorseful, News Ltd. newspapers reported.
