These guys must have been very desperate to get their truck back.

Police say two men driving a rental car were arrested Monday in connection with a bank robbery that occurred a few hours after the men dropped off a truck for body work.

“I told him he had a $996 deductible and that it would be due when he picked up the truck,” said Doug Germany, customer service manager. “His eyes got a little wide.”

The men, in their 50s, brought the 1997 GMC truck with right-side damage into the shop in the 4900 block of North Beach Street about 10 a.m., Germany said.

They rented a car from a Hertz rental branch at the collision center, he said. After lunch, authorities showed up wanting to know who had rented the car.

A man with a handgun had robbed the Frost Bank at 6301 N. Beach St. Witnesses saw him getting into the car, which another man was driving, robbery Detective D.E. Owings said.

I’m guessing that these two aren’t the sharpest knives in the drawer.
