Robbers hold up cashless bank

Two masked robbers tried to hold up a cashless credit union bank at gunpoint in California.

They burst into the 'bank' at Benicia with weapons drawn and shouted at employees to hand over the money, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.

"I would say that apparently they weren't really prepared," said Benicia police Capt. Steve Mortensen.

The robbers apparently had no idea they'd attempted to rob a credit union that immediately deposits its money, making it impossible for anyone to access it, he said.

"It's a common theme among a lot of credit unions."
