ATHENS (Reuters) - A Greek bank robber armed with ninja throwing stars finally ran out of moves Tuesday when police arrested him after an Athens bank robbery.

Petros Onen, 49, had held up 11 small suburban bank branches making away with 50,000 euros ($63,590) in recent months, threatening to throw his razor-sharp, palm-size stars -- made famous by the Japanese ninja warriors -- at cashiers, police said.

His luck ran out when undercover policemen at the last bank he robbed followed him home and arrested him with his loot, his throwing stars, a fake gun and a list of other bank branches.

LOL.....a real ninja would have thrown a "smoke bomb (pump)" and disappeared into thin air with the loot.

JPa you got any tips for us rooks?

There are two major forms of throw with a ninja star pudger, the overhead throw and the horizontal throw. Both very hard to master and surely cannot be taught on a forum setting.
