Bank robbery foiled when would-be robber forgets bag

Authorities say a bank teller apparently flustered a would-be bank robber - and foiled a robbery - after asking where the suspect's bag was to carry off the money.

An Oakland County Sheriff's detective says the suspect entered a Chase Bank branch yesterday in New Hudson wearing a hooded sweat shirt, sunglasses and winter gloves. He handed the teller a small piece of cardboard that read, "Give me your money."

When he told the teller to hurry up, she asked if he had a bag for the money. The suspect then ran off without any cash.

Police say the man also is a suspect in a completed bank theft later in the day in Macomb County and three others in Oakland County in recent weeks.
