Groom With A View

Was His Name Rob Roy?

A desperate bridegroom in Austria staged four bank robberies, taking more than £300,000, after his wife-to-be's plans for a huge white wedding got out of hand. But it still wasn't enough for his fiancee who demanded 500 guests, a Chanel gown, a new car and a Caribbean honeymoon. He was eventually caught by an off-duty policeman.

The good news is that all the "crooks" were caught.
