A Croatian armed robber managed to escape after a shop assistant got the giggles and told him he looked like a schoolboy.
Ivana Idzan, 22, was working in a clothes shop in Zagreb when the robber ran in holding a gun and told her to hand over the takings.
She said: "He just looked so young and nervous, like a spotty schoolboy on his lunch break and it just made me laugh to think he was trying to be a tough guy with a gun robbing a store.
"He looked totally shocked when I started laughing at him and then just turned on his heels and ran."
Police are studying film from a security camera in the shop and have begun a search for the young man.
