An armed bank robber in the world's northernmost settlement in the Arctic circle has been mocked online after he was captured shortly after his rash crime.
The heist was the first ever bank robbery in living memory on Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago about halfway between continental Norway and the North Pole.
'There was an armed robbery at around 10.40am,' Terje Carlsen, a spokesman for the local governor in Longyearbyen, the capital of Svalbard said.
'A man with a gun seized a sum of money. He was arrested quite quickly' in the town centre he added.

Police said the suspected robber was a foreigner travelling in the region and was transferred to the northern town of Tromso on the mainland where he will be questioned.
Authorities declined to give more details about the suspect's identity, the amount stolen or the weapon used in the robbery.
The odds of the heist succeeding were always low on the archipelago, famous for glaciers and its polar bears who outnumber residents.
Longyearbyen has around 2,000 inhabitants and practically everyone knows each other. The airport is the main means of leaving the settlement.
Commentators on social media were quick to make fun of the failed bank robbery.
'The most reckless bank robbery in Norwegian history?' said one Twitter user.

'He probably forgot to think about his escape route,' commented another.
The Svalbard archipelago, roughly twice the size of Belgium, lies about 600 miles from the North Pole.
Temperatures in winter regularly plunge to below minus 20 degrees Celsius and can drop below minus 40.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
