Bonnie and Clyde they ain't
The Victorian County Court has heard a man and his former girlfriend bungled their attempt to rob a restaurant in Melbourne's east last April.
Thirty-eight-year-old Brooklyn man Benjamin Jorgensen has pleaded guilty to armed robbery and negligently causing serious injury.
His accomplice, 36-year-old Donna Hayes of Belgrave, has also pleaded guilty to armed robbery.
The court heard the pair held up the owner of the Cuckoo Restaurant at Olinda last April Fool's Day, thinking he had $30,000 in a bag, which in fact only contained bread rolls.
The court heard Jorgensen accidentally shot his accomplice in the buttock during the handover.
Judge Williams told the court, "We've heard of the Keystone Cops - this is the keystone robbers."
The pair will be sentenced tomorrow.
