GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Two brothers are in jail awaiting trial for allegedly robbing a Grand Rapids bank after leaving a trail that resulted in their arrest.
Part of that trail was a robbery note written on a probation form from when one of the suspects was previously convicted of robbing a bank.
The Huntington Bank at 1949 44th St. SE, east of Kalamazoo Avenue, was robbed just after it opened on the morning of Oct. 25.
The robber handed a note to the teller that read: "This is a robbery. $50s and $20s. No dye pack. Put money in bag or we will harm. Praise Allah."
The bank teller who was handed the note told 24 Hour News 8 the experience had him frightened and he complied with the demand, giving him about $2,200.
When police came to investigate, they noticed the robbery note was written on the back of a federal probation office document.
