Another Exploding Dye Pack Story

On the heels of yesterday's story about a bank robbery that was foiled in part by an exploding dye pack, we bring you this tale from Long Island. A getaway driver was arrested after he and a "friend" (who managed to flee before police arrived) robbed a bank. James Clark and the friend who did the actual robbing—Newsday reports that the man who told a teller he had a gun was given "unspecified amount of cash and a dye pack from a drawer"—had to leave the getaway vehicle because the dye pack exploded. Oh, and a bank employee copied their license plate number. So Clark called his sister for advice—yes, telling her about dye pack and being spotted—and the sister said he should call 911. Newsday adds that at first Clark told the authorities he had no idea his friend was planning a robbery but later owned up to it.
