You would think that when you’re going to rob a bank you might not want a television crew broadcasting live while you do, but apparently it happened!
The Associated Press Reported:
(AP) An Iowa television station was doing a live update on a Rochester, Minnesota, bank robbery when police say the suspect returned to rob it a second time.
KIMT-TV of Mason City, Iowa, was outside Sterling State Bank in Rochester on Tuesday when a bank employee ran out and pointed out the robbery suspect.
Reporter Adam Sallet broke away from the report, saying, “I have to go. I have to call 911.”
The Post-Bulletin reports police spotted the suspect’s vehicle on U.S. Highway 52. The Minnesota State Patrol says the 36-year-old Rochester man was pulled over south of Minneapolis and arrested.
Police Capt. John Sherwin says the man is suspected of robbing the bank two days in a row. In both robberies, the suspect presented a note and escaped with money.
