I would be more concerned about an employee giving the robbers info on who is carrying large amounts of cash. This was not just some random robbery. Even an idiot could see that.

Yeah he was in there for 40 minutes! How would these robbers know what's up unless someone tipped them off. 🤔

Exactly, somebody definitely tipped them off.

How would the bank employees know this client was gonna make a 10k withdrawal right off the back ???

What makes 10k that important when you have people pulling daily limits all day ??? Some even request 50k-100k days in advance , you can easily rob 10k-20k from a illegal weed shop with no police investigation as long as you don’t attack anyone , that’s why I’m sure this was set up by the victim , only time will tell

[@jerry171460]

A black bank teller works there!

[@romeodiaz9203]

Even with the 40min time span , it’s bank policy they can’t be on their phones especially during busy mornings transactions, this thing will play itself out for sure , if there was on 5-6 employees and each remained busy and attentive those 40 minutes , for sure the victim will be the prime suspect, the only way something like this will be believable is if the actual suspects were in the bank also and watched and listened to him make the transaction and followed him but whose that stupid to put themselves on camera, I’m just saying there’s multiple people daily pulling big money what makes 10k so important to set up a robbery

Inside job, identical to the 2013 Houston robbery. The bank teller, Shelby Taylor Wyse, texted her boyfriend to inform him and his two accomplices that a business owner had withdrew a large amount of cash. The bank teller gave the robbers the identity of the customers including how they looked, how much money they withdrew and when they left the bank. The business owners who are husband/wife were followed to their business, brutally assaulted and robbed. If I remember correctly, the robbers ran over the wife’s head causing critical injury. She survived miraculously. I believe the bank was uncooperative in the investigation and it took a search warrant to provide surveillance video and only then were they able to see the bank teller texting on her phone during the withdrawal. Electronic forensic was then able to extract the text between her and the robbers. The two robbers were caught and have since been convicted. The bank teller was convicted on a lesser charge. The getaway driver is outstanding and has never been identified.

This was an inside job, someone inside that bank texted the robber(s) so they knew who to specifically target. If the man was there for 40 minutes before leaving, that was ample time for a text.

[@marcusfieldfield4069]

It's probably not a good idea to walk out of a bank with one of those zippered cash bags in your hands out in the open🤔 ! Experienced thieves know what's in it !!

[@romeodiaz9203]

Again bro these robbers were already waiting but !!!! Most banks have a 0% phone tolerance during transactions so all they have to do is run the camera back , get how many employees we’re actually at the time and see there movements during those 20-30minutes of the 40 minutes he was there and if everyone seems busy and in contact with a customer more than likely the victim is the suspect

It was known in advance, I worked for a bank before. In order to withdrawal amounts greater then 4k you have to call it in a day or two in advance so they bank can have that money for you and prep the big sum going out. Any withdrawal of 10k we reported as well.

This is my local bank and I’m scared to go now specially because I will not be likely to defend myself due to the current circumstances. Always make sure if drawing large amounts of money to stay discreet inside with the cashier make sure to write it on a piece of paper and also people in this area have been targeted a lot recently with follow up robberies because of their expensive clothing, jewelry or car. The less flashy you are the better, some thieves have been following people to their homes too. People need to be aware of their surroundings all the time. Just down the street there was another robbery at Bank of America same thing happened and same day. Smh
