Surveillance cameras captured the moment a dye pack went off right as a bank robber in Newark, New Jersey attempted to flee the scene with stolen money.

Police have released video of a red dye pack exploding on a robber escaping a bank in New Jersey.

NBC New York reports the suspect stole $2,300 from a Capital One in Newark. The robber went to the bank around 10 a.m. on Saturday and handed a teller a note demanding cash.

“I have a gun give me all the money from the register please, and no one will get hurt,” the hand-written note read, according to police.

The teller then gave the robber money and dye pack. In total, the suspect made off with $2,500. The suspect then exited the bank but the dye pack exploded shortly after he left the property.
