FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Police in Connecticut say they had ample warning of a bank robbery because the two suspects called the bank ahead of time and told an employee to get a bag of money ready.

Police arrested 27-year-old Albert Bailey and an unidentified 16-year-old boy on robbery and threatening charges Tuesday afternoon at a People's United Bank branch in Fairfield.

Sgt. James Perez says the two Bridgeport residents showed up about 10 minutes after making the call and were met by police in the parking lot. Perez told the Connecticut Post the suspects were "not too bright."

It's not clear if Bailey and the teen have lawyers.

The fools should have called lawyers after they "ordered" their money, lol. It's like they were ordering a pizza.

If only all criminals were polite enough to call ahead it would make the the job of the Police so much easier!

Really they should have just called ahead to the jail and let them know to reserve a room.

This sounds like a REALLY bad L&O episode - but I can just picture the late, great Jerry Orbach (as Det. Lenny Briscoe) falling on the ground laughing.

This would be an episode of Law and Order SCU (Stupid Criminals Unit)

I just realized we already have that show - COPS!!!

But if they ever did L&O: Stupid Criminals Unit, I'd love to hear which intro they'd do that ends with "these are their stories. CHUNG-CHUNG!"

I can see this as the ULTIMATE carryout order:

"Hello, bank? Yeah, I need approximately $5,000.00 in tens, twenties and fives please. No anchovies or olives. Yes, it's to go. WHAT!!??? You want my PHONE NUMBER so that you can keep track of my order?! And you charge a $500.00 DELIVERY FEE!!?? Forget that, man, we'll come pick it up ourselves!"
