A Croatian armed robber abandoned a bank hold up after the cashier laughed at his order to stick 'em up, state news agency Hina reported on Thursday.

The masked robber entered a bank at Zagreb's main square in plain daylight and threatened the clerk with his gun.

"Knowing she was behind a bulletproof glass, the clerk laughed heartily, rang her boss to say she was being robbed and asked him to call the police," Zagreb police spokeswoman Gordana Vulama told the agency.

The humiliated robber turned and took to his heels, she added.
