Cash in bin liners, please

IN THE early hours of June 14th a suspicious neighbour spotted a man armed with an automatic rifle throwing bulging black bin liners over a convent wall in General Rodríguez, a suburb on the western fringes of Buenos Aires. The man then leapt over the convent’s big wooden gateway. Fearing for the safety of the three elderly nuns who lived there, the neighbour called the police. Two patrol cars turned up. The officers say they refused the man’s attempt to bribe them.
