it can’t be traced back to them.

The Duke Boys would be proud of this jump.

Perhaps the bank robber thought the rental price of $1,750 a day was reasonable since he would score big time. Or maybe the guy wanted to lick the brass ring and see how the other half lives.

Whatever the reason, the $500,000 ultra-luxury SUV stands out like a beacon, so police found it and a chase ensued. However, the driver was able to ditch the Rolls and get away on foot. Officers didn’t find him while combing the area, so now the hunt is on.

The FBI is heading up the investigation, which is common with bank robberies, so there’s no word on if they know who committed these crimes. The owner of Dream Luxury Car Rental said about $15,000 in damage was done to the Cullinan.

We’re assuming the person who rented the Rolls-Royce SUV didn’t use their real identity for the transaction. That would mean a fake ID, possibly a stolen credit card, etc. If the business has cameras that recorded the customer’s face, maybe that’s helping with the investigation?

It’s just a weird move to rent such a pricey ride to rob banks, but there’s probably something psychological behind it. In the meantime, the rental company gets to take a hit on revenue as a result.

As Fox 2 Detroit notes, it’s not the first time someone has used one of the pricey rental cars from that service to commit a crime, which is just weird to us.
