Ocean's Eleven....Not.

In Tokyo, four Japanese teenagers who stole a car and went on a shoplifting spree told police they wanted to be like characters in the 2001 heist movie “Ocean’s Eleven”.

What’s amazing was the four boys were aged between 14 & 15 years old.

They were said to be enamored of the movie starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt & Matt Damon, whose characters robbed three of the largest casinos in Las Vegas, the Daily Yomiuri reported.





















The teenagers called themselves “Ocean’s Eleven make believe”, practiced pick-pocketing from each other, stole a car after sticking a pair of scissors in the ignition and went on a shoplifting spree.

A spokesperson for the Tokyo Metropolitan police confirmed the four boys were detained in October on suspicion of car theft, but declined to provide further details.


Good thing they didn’t imitate “Gone In 60 Seconds”.
