A suspected illegal immigrant from Venezuela tried his luck at robbing a bank in Ohio this week, although the heist went awry after he was unable to communicate what he wanted.
Fox 8 reports that police arrested 20-year-old Yeixon Brito-Gonzalez and suspect that he is in the country illegally. Customs and Border Patrol have put a hold on him.
“We have no way to tell if he is here legally or not,” said Sandusky Police Chief Jared Oliver. “But he has no proof of identification.”
The failed heist took place on April 6th at around 11:30 a.m., when bank clerks called police to report a man entering the facility and trying to get behind the counters.
Security footage of the incident shows the man holding up his phone as he tried to communicate his demands, which included taking money out of the tills and placing it in a bag. During this time, police arrived at the scene and successfully detained him while also explaining his rights in Spanish.
“I have been in law enforcement for over 20 years and this is the first time I encountered something like this, someone using a translator app to try and rob a bank,” Oliver continued. “First time our officers have dealt with it too."
According to the law enforcement report, the suspect claimed he had recently lost his job and needed cash. However, he denied attempting to rob the bank, instead insisting that he was merely asking them to put money in his bag. He is now facing charges of attempted robbery, attempted theft, and criminal trespassing.

This is worse than Butch Cassidy pretending to be fluent enough if Spanish to rob a bank without crib notes. LOL.

Well, if he’s not here legally, he’s here illegally. Off he’s here legally we have records of that.
If, not off.
