QuoteTHE world’s oldest jailed robber yesterday insisted he would raid another bank if he was let out.
Wheelchair-bound Red Rountree, 92, was jailed for 12 years last month after admitting robbing a bank in Abilene, Texas.
Yesterday the defiant OAP said from his cell: “I like robbing banks. It gives me a high.”
Rountree said banks drove him into bankruptcy in the 1970s and he had vowed to take his revenge ever since.
He was nabbed after his third bank robbery in less than five years.
He grabbed £1,200 from First American Bank after handing the cashier an envelope with “Robbery” scrawled on it.
Rountree, who was not armed, also warned her “Hurry up — or you’ll get hurt.”
