And finally… art of the steal

Clock icon Reading time: 1 minute

Two people suspected of donning Donald Trump masks to steal from cash machines have been arrested.

The brothers, aged 27 and 31, are alleged to have taken €100,000 from 20 cash machines while wearing the likeness of the US president.

A video recovered from CCTV cameras in Turin, Italy and published online shows the spectacle of a lean young man wearing a crude, plastic imitation of Trump’s visage plant explosives in a cash machine.

According to La Stampa, the brothers are themselves the sons of a businessman convicted of murder during a botched robbery.
