Bank robber caught red handed

Police in Massachusetts caught a bank robber red handed — literally.

Fifty-year-old John Tripp gave tellers a note saying he had a gun at a Sovereign Bank branch.

Bank employees managed to hide a dye pack in the cash the robber stole.

The suspect was arrested in about an hour because an officer noticed red dye covering the man's hands and some cash.
