A video that’s gone viral showing that bank robbers getting away in a car while police watched in Detroit is fake.

The video, which was posted in 2009, was being shared again en masse this week.

The video footage was taken by an observer during a 2008 Chevy Malibu advertisement.

Here’s the hoax video:
