Italian police arrest "ninja" robber

Police nabbed a "ninja" who has been robbing farmers in northern Italy for weeks. The man sported a black bandana around his head, a knife strapped to his leg, and carried a bow-and-arrow. On Monday night, an elederly man frightened the ninja off with a rifle. The ninja jumped on a bike to flee but police caught up with him. Apparently, the robber, Igor Vaclavic, was a former Russian soldier. And he wasn't trying to be a ninja at all. From the BBC News:

He was caught carrying night scopes and a head torch.

When asked about his chosen disguise, he told police he had been inspired by his boyhood idol - Robin Hood.
