A financial institution theft was thwarted after the cashier satisfied the person to sit down – just for police to show up and arrest him within the foyer.

The FBI mentioned James Timothy Kelly entered PNC Bank in Hollywood, Florida carrying a mesh bag and handed over a notice stating: “Give me the money.”

The worker pretended to not see it, based on an affidavit detailing the case, and as a substitute gave him a withdrawal slip.

Kelly allegedly advised her: “I am not here for that. I am here to rob you.”

“In fear of her safety and the safety of others around her, the victim bank teller pretended to have computer issues and asked Kelly to take a seat,” the affidavit states.

Kelly is alleged to have obeyed – however his compliance seems to have been deadly to his 7 July heist try.

Police had been known as and entered by means of the financial institution’s again entrance, arresting the suspect after discovering him sitting within the foyer.

The FBI mentioned he was taken to its Miami workplace the place he admitted making an attempt to rob the financial institution.

He now faces a most 20-year sentence, based on native media.
