Bank “Heist” Lasted 3 Hours: Florida Career Criminal Caught Attempting To Deposit Stolen Loot
AOL
A 55-year-old man with a history of bank robbery was swiftly apprehended Tuesday afternoon in what authorities are calling a textbook example of inter-agency cooperation. Lewis McNack of Hollywood, Florida, found his short-lived crime spree cut short just three hours after he robbed a PNC Bank in Palm City.
McNack's "master plan" began around 1 p.m. when he walked into the bank, verbally threatened a teller with a gun, and demanded cash. After taking the money, he fled, reportedly heading south toward Broward County. What he didn't count on was the swift, coordinated response from law enforcement.
The irony of the situation is not lost on investigators. McNack is no stranger to the criminal justice system, having been convicted of bank robbery in Oklahoma back in 2005. That crime earned him a 178-month federal prison sentence and three years of supervised probation. His extensive criminal history, spanning numerous offenses, paints a picture of a man who hasn't learned from his past mistakes.
