Bank Robbery Foiled When Teller Can't Read Hold'up Note |
2014-01-09 |
ANTIOCH, CA. - Police say a man with every intention of robbing a Wells Fargo Bank, entered that establishment on Monday morning and approached a bank teller. Without saying a word, the man took out a note and handed it to the teller. The only problem was...the teller couldn't read the note. According to police, the teller was unable to decipher the handwriting and then contacted her manager for assistance. As the teller consulted with her manager, police say the suspect made a break for it, exiting the bank through the back door. Bank staff eventually understood the suspect's intentions and notified police. Later, officers received a call reporting an unwanted guest at the nearby Somersville Towne Center. When they arrived on scene, they found 29-year-old Jamal Garrett who matched the description of the alleged bank robber. Witnesses from the failed bank heist positively identified Garrett as the suspect. He was arrested for attempting to rob the bank, parole violations and poor penmanship. This is why a good education is important. Or at least use spell check. |

#7 If he had no costume on and is clearly easy to identify by appearance why not speak? Was he hoping to not alert customers? I saw a thing a decade ago about new bank doors that were like bullet proof air locks and the idea was you let the bank robber go and then trap him on his way out. I'm surprised we don't see more of those things. LIke the photos on the back of the credit cards its like some folks really aren't taking things seriously. Perhaps because the government backs up the theft and loans. |

#4 ...so the penance will probably not be writing, Ã la Bart Simpson, "I Will Not Rob Banks" 1,000 times... |

#1 ..but the bank will be sued by DoJ for institutional racism by expecting Jamal Garrett to be able to write in the white supremacists manner. |
