Italian police have issued video footage of a man who has been hypnotizing supermarket checkout staff and getting them to hand over the cash.


In every case, according to reports, the last thing staff remember is a man leaning over and saying 'Look into my eyes' before suddenly finding the till is empty. Scroll down for more ...

In the latest incident captured on video footage the man walked into a bank in Ancona in northern Italy.
He waited until he got to a female bank clerk and, according to the video footage, appears to hypnotise her into handing over more than £600. He then calmly walked out.

Do I still get a cookie if I had to Google it to get it?

If I could do that, I'd spend all my time hypnotizing hot chicks into giving me blow jobs, cleaning my apartment then leaving (in that order).
