BBC said:
A bank robber who was forced to reveal his identity when he failed to cut eyeholes in his makeshift mask has been jailed for four-and- a-half years.
Matthew Davies donned a pillow case during the raid on a Bank of Scotland in Dunfermline, Fife, but soon discovered he could not see properly.
The 47-year-old, who threatened staff with a meat cleaver, escaped with nearly £2,000 on 23 September 2019.
Davies, of Dunfermline, pleaded guilty to a charge of assault and robbery.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard how Davies had pulled the meat cleaver from the pillow slip, then used the bedding to cover his face - but quickly removed it.
Prosecutor Stewart Ronnie earlier told the court: "This was due to a failure to create eye holes."
