WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A man who robbed a PNC bank in West Palm Beach has been caught by police and the FBI.
On Wednesday, a guy walked into the PNC Bank at 218 Datura Drive and started robbing it. The only customer in the bank was told to “sit down” by the man, who then pulled out a gun and told a teller to give him money. The teller did what the robber asked, and the robber ran away with an unknown amount of money. Fortunately, no one got hurt.
The “unique outfit” of the thief was the first thing that detectives noticed.
Police said that the suspect was carrying a broom, dustpan, a gun, and a shirt that looked like it was made for a gardener.
Detectives, FBI officers, and Crime Scene Unit investigators were sent to the bank while a perimeter was set up around it.
As the investigation went on, cops said that the getaway car was found in Riviera Beach on Wednesday night.
Around 1:30 a.m. on Thursday, Saeed Brown, who is 47 years old, was taken at his apartment on Blue Heron Boulevard. Brown told the officers who questioned him that he had made up a disguise to fit in.
Police said Brown had been convicted of a crime before and will be charged with armed robbery at the federal level. He was taken to the Palm Beach County Main Jail and put in a cell.
