Tellers' lack of cash thwarts Pa. bank heist
YORK, Pa. | Police say a central Pennsylvania man tried to rob a bank — but tellers' empty cash drawers thwarted his attempt.
Springettsbury Township Police Lt. Scott Laird says the tellers were waiting for their cash drawers to be filled when a man entered a Susquehanna Bank branch Thursday morning and demanded money. The first teller fainted and the next two showed him their empty cash drawers.
Laird says the robber then threatened to file a complaint with bank management before leaving.
A customer at the drive-through called 911. A 48-year-old Windsor Township man was arrested about 10 blocks away and was held in the York County Prison in lieu of $25,000 bail. He is charged with criminal attempt to commit robbery.
