Spaghetti sauce cans are weapon of choice for woman who robbed Mich. bank, police say

(CBS/AP) CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Police say two cans of spaghetti sauce in a bag were the weapons a woman used to hold up a bank in southeast Michigan.

The robbery happened about 11:30 a.m. Saturday at a Fifth Third Bank branch in Macomb County's Clinton Township, about 15 miles from Detroit.

Police say a woman about 60-years-old told bank employees she had a bomb in her cloth bag and demanded money. They say she took an undisclosed amount of money and escaped in a car with a man at the wheel.

The Detroit Free Press says a state police bomb squad scanned the bag, which was left at the bank, and found the sauce.

"We're still developing suspect information," Clinton Township Lt. Eric Reincke told the paper. "But we do think we have a pretty good lead on a suspect."

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 586-493-7857.
