Hypno-robber strikes again
Chisinau, Moldova
October 12, 2005
POLICE are chasing a con artist who used hypnotism to steal tens of thousands of dollars from bank tellers in Moldova - eastern Europe's poorest country.
The suspect, identified as Vladimir Kozak, 49, is believed to have stolen more than $40,000 from bank employees unable to resist his powers, police said yesterday.
Kozak's biggest haul took place last week, where police say he convinced a teller to give him $12,000.
His technique was to gain eye contact, put his targets in a hypnotic state and convince them to hand over cash.

Police were warning bank security personnel to avoid attempts to detain him because of his possible accomplices, and because of his potential ability to defend himself by hypnotism.
