LAS VEGAS - Las Vegas entertainers The Blue Man Group are wanted in a series of bank robberies throughout Nevada. Police say the exploding blue dye packs that banks insert in stolen money are ineffective to stop them. In theory, when the dye pack explodes, it is supposed to stain the robber, making it easy to identify him.
But when the dye pack explodes on the Blue Man Group, no one even notices, and they walk away undetected. After one recent robbery in downtown Las Vegas, the dye pack exploded seconds after members of the Blue Man Group stepped outside the bank, spewing blue ink all over them. Nevertheless, they continued to walk the streets as if nothing happened, and tourists and passers-by even stopped them for their autographs.
The inability to nab the crooks has left police seeing red and feeling blue.
