Bank That Bans Customers Inside Robbed

DISTRICT HEIGHTS, Md. - A bank that has been robbed so many times it bans customers from coming inside was held up again anyway on Friday.

Anyone using the Bank of America branch on Silver Hill Rd. has been forced to go to the drive-up or the ATM for the last few months, after managers got fed up with the repeated heists. But when one of the tellers went out for a break, a robber saw a window of opportunity.

"There were two tellers inside of this bank. One of the tellers left to run over to the drug store and as she was walking back, a suspect wearing dark clothing produced a gun and forced her inside the bank," Cpl. Diane Richardson of the Prince George's County police. The suspect tried to lock both tellers in the vault, but could not.

No one was hurt, and there was no word on how much money the suspect made off with.

Police said just last week, a teller was about to leave when she saw a man outside with a gun. She was able to lock herself in and get help.

Well, if some people would put titles on threads that actually had some clue about what the thread was ABOUT, this little problem wouldn't happen, now would it?
