Man tries to steal in a bank – level 2
14-11-2014 07:00
A 27 year-old unemployed man tried to steal a woman’s money in a bank. She stood at the counter when the man attempted to take her money.
He started to run away but soon two police officers stopped him. People watched the incident in shock.
The man had already served seven months in prison for a burglary, and police released him in July 2013. The current case is under investigation.
Difficult words: unemployed (jobless), attempt (try), burglary (the act of entering a building to steal).
You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.
