MUNICH – A man who tried to hold up a pharmacy with a needle he said was contaminated with AIDS gave up after the nervous clerk struggled to open the cash register, and he fled with just a chocolate bar, police said.

A spokesman for the Munich police department said on Tuesday that the thief, aged about 18, waved the syringe at the clerk and demanded she turn over the money in her cash drawer. Police said the woman was so frightened that she fumbled with the cash drawer.”It was all too slow for the thief so he just grabbed a chocolate bar and fled,” the spokesman added.- Nampa-ReutersPolice said the woman was so frightened that she fumbled with the cash drawer.”It was all too slow for the thief so he just grabbed a chocolate bar and fled,” the spokesman added.- Nampa-Reuters
