Woman Robs Bank with Axe After Stock Crash

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - A Swedish mother of five, distraught
after her shares crashed, robbed a bank in neighboring Finland
by threatening staff with an axe, she admitted in court in
Finland.

The 41-year-old woman said she panicked after her Swedish
information technology stocks fell heavily in May, not knowing
how she would provide for her children's future, the daily
Expressen reported.

She initially succeeded in obtaining 20,000 Finnish markka
($2,911) from a cashier but was overpowered outside by a man
who had seen her enter the bank wearing a mask and carrying an
axe.

The paper did not identify either the town or the
defendant, who is appealing against a one-year prison sentence
to the high court in Rovaniemi, Finland.
