Cisse in robbery mix-up Nov 26 2004
LIVERPOOL striker Djibril Cisse was surrounded by police yesterday after he and a friend sparked an armed robbery scare by wearing Halloween masks for "a laugh".
A passer-by thought the £14million Frenchman, 23, and his friend - both wearing Scream-style hoods - were planning a raid as they sat in a 4x4 near a supermarket in Liverpool.
The woman said: "I saw two men in this car wearing masks. It scared me - I thought they were about to commit a robbery."
She raised the alarm and within minutes the car was surrounded by police.
Officers told the men to take off their masks and quizzed them briefly, before letting them go.
Merseyside police said: "They said they were having a laugh. No offences have been committed."
The witness said: "It seems a strange way to have fun. Maybe that's what rich footballers do when they've got too much time on their hands."
Liverpool FC refused to comment.

Armed police swoop on Liverpool ace
Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse was surrounded by armed police officers yesterday after they believed he and a friend were planning a robbery in the city.
A member of the public spotted two men wearing Halloween masks sat in a 4x4 near a supermarket. The police were informed and within the minutes the area was sealed off and the two men were ordered out of the vehicle by armed officers.
The two masked men - one of whom was Djibril Cisse - said they were only wearing the masks for a laugh. The police cautioned them about their future behaviour and allowed them to carry on with their business but without the masks.
A Merseyside police spokesman said: "They said they were having a laugh. No offences have been committed."
The lady who contacted the police said: "I saw two men in this car wearing masks. It scared me. I thought they were about to commit a robbery.
"It seems a strange way to have fun. Maybe that's what rich footballers do when they've got too much time on their hands."
