Australian Story:Dumb & Dumber bank robbery duo screens 8pm, Monday April 12, ABC1

For the first time, Anthony Prince, one half of the Dumb and Dumber bank robbery duo, provides a firsthand account into what may be the worlds most inept bank heist.
Youve just robbed a federally insured bank of the United States, youd have to be retarded to think you can get away with it. ANTHONY PRINCE

We had them identified within 8 minutes of the robbery.

In 2005, Anthony Prince and Luke Carroll, two hapless 19-year-olds from Byron Bay, were dubbed Dumb and Dumber by international media when they mounted possibly the most hare-brained bank heist in history — holding up a branch in the ski village of Vail, Colorado, where they were living.

From their audacious getaway on snowboards, to buying a Rolex with $5 bank notes and tipping a cab driver $US20,000; Australian Story separates the myths from facts to reveal that sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.

The crime shocked their hometown community and devastated Princes family who could barely comprehend their sons moment of madness.

After serving nearly five years in a US federal prison, Anthony Prince returns to his hometown to make amends and start over.

For the first time Anthony Prince, his family and friends speak out. They are joined by one of the bank tellers, the Assistant Federal Public Defender for Colorado, the FBI, and a local Vail police officer involved in the case.

Dumb and Dumber explores the series of events that led a young man from a solid middle-class family to commit one of recent historys most humiliating felonies.

@MrHamanio No, It would be dumb American laws and the bad influence of American life style on you. It polutes your brain.

Don't go to America, go to Canida instead. Much nice place.
