Wanted gangster drops by prison for mass

<!-- END HEADLINE --> <!-- BEGIN STORY BODY --> Thu Jun 1, 9:09 AM ET

Brazilian police are investigating how an accused drug kingpin wanted by the authorities dropped by a local prison to take part in a sermon last week and left through the front door.
Alberico Medeiros spoke during a Pentecostal sermon in front of 480 inmates about his years as a drug trafficker, how he used drugs, carried guns and had a huge gang of cutthroats at his command. He says he has since become religious and has abandoned his criminal ways.
Medeiros, who has spent time in Rio de Janeiro's maximum security jail, faces trial on 12 counts of trafficking and other unlawful activities.
"He may have repented his sins, but he is wanted by the police," an investigator in Rio, the home city of Medeiros, told Reuters Wednesday.
"It's incredible that he dares to show up in a prison like that, talking about his crimes, and nobody even stops him."
Police said they questioned a preacher who held the sermon in the Minas Gerais state jail, but he denied knowledge of an arrest warrant in Medeiros' name.

Would-be robber asks bank how to do it

<!-- END HEADLINE --> <!-- BEGIN STORY BODY --> Thu Jun 1, 9:03 AM ET

A would-be Japanese bank robber asked staff how he should carry out the crime before meekly obeying a request to leave and then accidentally stabbing himself in the leg with a knife he was carrying.
The 58-year-old unemployed man went into a branch of the Saitama Resona Bank in the town of Kumagaya, north of Tokyo, on Wednesday, intending to rob it, a police spokesman said.
According to local media reports the man first asked a bank teller, "Any idea how you rob a bank?" The teller alerted another member of staff, who asked the man to leave.
"He left quietly when asked to," the police spokesman said.
However, the staff member escorting the man out of the bank noticed the knife sticking out of his pocket and a bloodstain on his trousers.
Police arrested the man for illegal possession of a weapon.
"He didn't brandish the knife at anyone ... but he injured himself in the leg," the police spokesman said.

Stabs himself in the leg? :tongue2:
Likely to be in a ward pretty soon as a danger to himself and others from the sound of it.
