'Mates' Dubbed Dumb & Dumber

Two 19 year old buddies from Australia robbed the WestStar Bank in Denver in March. They had not planned carefully.

First, they both wore their staff badges from the ski shop where they worked.

Then they used the passes to board a chair lift a quarter mile from the bank within minutes of the robbery, carrying the $132,000 in cash with them.

Later they went to Denver International Airport and tried to buy one-way tickets to Mexico. They were arrested at the airport.
