BRUNSWICK - A would-be bank robber apparently didn't case his intended target well enough Friday morning to know it was a drive-through-only bank.


Quote from the article:

The man, with a ski mask over his face, yanked futilely on the locked door at SunTrust Bank, 4236 Norwich Street Extension, before running away about 9:30 a.m. Right before the failed heist, a witness called 911 and reported seeing a man pull a mask over his head and try to enter the bank. Empty-handed, the robber ran away and was last seen getting into a white Ford van on nearby Whitlock Street across the Norfolk Southern train yard from the bank. Almost instantly, about a half-dozen patrol cars with Glynn County and Brunswick police and Glynn County sheriff's deputies surrounded the van, which was occupied by two men. Police took both men into custody for questioning separately.
