Police are searching for a bank robber disguised as Rick James

It is alleged that a bank robber in the US disguised himself as Rick James with an accomplice dressed as a character from seventies movie 'Superfly'. 

A local news report hilariously reads, "The first suspect is described as being 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches with long dark hair. He was wearing sunglasses, a black hat, all black clothing and was armed." 

If that doesn't scream Rick James, then maybe the following image will, imagine the re-enactment playing out on Crimewatch sound-tracked by 'Super Freak'?

They were also both wearing high-vis vests: "Hey! look at us, we're robbing a bank....I'M RICK JAMES, BITCH!".

This is undisputed World's Dumbest Criminals gold, and it'll be fascinating to see how it all unfolds.
