[VIDEO] Bank Robber's C4 Corvette Searched for Explosives

We’ve heard of “dynamite” Corvettes exploding off the line at a drag strip.

But a suspect bank robber in Stanton, Calif., added a new twist to that scenario Monday morning.

The 62-year-old man was arrested in connection with a robbery at Bank of the West on Beach Boulevard in Stanton after a traffic stop at Katella and Western avenues.

That’s where it gets interesting.

Apparently, the man decided to make life a little more troubling for the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, telling them he had hidden a bomb in a maroon C4 Corvette convertible (complete with tan top and a huge spoiler that looked big enough to hide a bomb).

Check out this helicopter video of the bomb squad robot that was called upon to check out the “explosive” Corvette that was parked in a nearby strip mall.

An hour later, no bomb had been located, but authorities did find the cash taken in the bank robbery.

According to a comment left on the Channel 4 Southern California website, the alleged robber passed by a sheriff’s department station and only made it a half-mile from the bank before being apprehended.
