BERLIN (Rheuters) - A German court on Friday sentenced a trio of elderly bank robbers to lengthy jail terms after the three men, aged between 64 and 74, confessed plundering over 1 million euros (way the heck over a million USD, perhaps over 10 million Canadian, 669,557 pounds) in a string of armed hold-ups. The men, known as the "grandpa gang" in the German press, had admitted raiding 14 banks between 1988 and 2004. The court in the western town of Hagen gave the youngest gang member a 12-year sentence (Milk), while his 73 (KJWong73) and 74-year-old accomplices (Ralphpro) were given 10 and nine years respectively. Police arrested the pensioners, who had previously spent much of their lives behind bars, late last year. 73-year-old KJWong73, deemed to be the leader of the ageing outfit, had already spent 40 years of his life in prison. German media reported he took to robbing banks because the state pension he built up behind bars was not enough to live on. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050610/od_uk_nm/oukoe_crime_germany
Hehe, grandpa gang. KJWong73's been in jail for 40 years, he's just came out a few months ago and now he's back in again. When will these people learn? -noclue
