Man Robs Bank With Vibrator

A Pittsburgh man, Aaron Stein, 35, faces a preliminary hearing June 25 in Allegheny County Magisterial District Court on nine felony counts including aggravated assault, robbery, threatening to use a weapon of mass destruction and the unusual charge of possessing a facsimile weapon of mass destruction, according to court documents.
Stein was alleged to have walked into a PNC Bank in the Pittsburgh suburb of Crafton and "stated he had a bomb", showed the teller wires hanging out from his shirt and demanded cash." He left the bank with an undisclosed amount of money on Monday and drove off in a white Toyota, which was pulled over on a ramp to northbound Interstate 79 by Robinson Township police.

Officers found money in a garbage bag, and beneath the front passenger seat, they found the device Stein claimed was a bomb and used to rob the bank. It was "a makeshift box he made out of a box, black tape, a vibrator and cellphone,".

A bomb squad dog checked the device and a briefcase that officers found in the car. Both were detonated as a precaution, police said.
