Berlin, Germany (AHN) -- A man had just withdrawn 8,000 euros ($10,218) from a bank when he was hit from behind with feces.

The culprits then pretended to help him clean up the excrement while they pick-pocketed him, taking 7,500 euros ($9,579).

Gissen police say in a statement, "Two large women came up to him from behind and claimed they had seen someone excreting down onto the street from above."

The women used paper towels they had on hand to wipe the feces from the man's clothing. A third man, who also had paper towels, joined them.

When the victims took his pants to the cleaners, he noticed that 7,500 euros had been stolen from his back pocket by one of the "helpers."

He was intending to use the money for a holiday.
