In this week’s Top Surveillance Videos…
Although “dye pack exploding on bumbling bank thief” is a trope commonly seen in movies and television, I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen an example of it in real life … until now.
Surveillance footage out of New Jersey shows a man briskly walking down a sidewalk when suddenly a cloud of red smoke starts to billow from his backpack. He then darts across the street, reaches into his backpack and throws the smoking dye pack away.
Unfortunately for suspect, a police detective spotted him and eventually placed him under arrest. According to the authorities, the suspect walked into a bank and passed a note to a teller saying he had a gun and wanted money. Officials said the teller gave him money, including a dye pack.
Officials also said $2,300 cash was taken along with the dye pack, which contained another $200.

Home surveillance footage shows a man get viciously attacked by two loose pit bulls. The dogs jump at him and are eventually able to bring him to the ground where they continued to bite him.
A nearby neighbor notices the commotion, grabs a long tree trimmer and comes to the man’s rescue. Another neighbor, a retired lawman, also comes to help and is forced to use his gun on one of the dogs, wounding it.
