Would-Be Bank Robber Balks, Asks to Open Account Instead 

A would-be bank robber turned into a would-be bank customer Friday afternoon, police say. 

The suspect walked into a Bayonne, NJ, bank and handed a teller a note demanding "all the money." But as the teller read the note, he snatched it back and said he wanted to open an account. 

A customer service rep met with him in another area, but the suspect didn't have the ID needed to open an account; as the man was meeting with yet another employee, the teller told the customer service rep about the note. 

That employee confronted the suspect and escorted him out of the building; by the time police and bank security were alerted to the incident, he was gone. An investigation continues.
