German supermarket check-out worker stashed the day's takings into her shoes and hit herself over the head, pretending she had been held up and attacked by a robber, Bavarian police allege.
The 26 year-old woman told police she was alone in the south German store when a masked man forced her at gun-point to fill his pockets and several bags with money from the shop's cash box.
She said he then knocked her unconscious with a blow to her head.
Police became suspicious after medical examinations revealed the woman's head injury did not match up to her description of the attack.
The woman then confessed that she had hit herself on the head with a blunt object and stolen the money to pay off debts.
