SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. - A Florida man was arrested Thursday for allegedly robbing two banks within two hours in broad daylight, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office said.
Duwane Edward Gilmore was charged with robbery without a firearm, attempted robbery without a firearm and grand theft, officials said. The 35-year-old is being held at the John E. Polk Correctional Facility with no bond.
The double bank robberies occurred Wednesday afternoon.
The first one happened around 1:15 p.m. at the Seacoast Bank at 2695 W SR-434 in Longwood. The man from Leesburg reportedly passed a note to a bank teller demanding money, implying he had a weapon, officials said. He was unsuccessful in trying to get the cash, however, and fled the scene.
About an hour and a half later, the man allegedly tried to hit the Bank of America at 5320 W SR-46 in Sanford, about 20 minutes away from the first bank. He again demanded money from a bank teller and left the bank with an undisclosed amount of money, according to authorities.
Gilmore was seen fleeing the scene in a 2014 Ford Escape which was later found parked at a Lake County hotel that night, officials said. He was arrested shortly after.

According to one of the chapters in the Freakonomics books, robbing a bank is one of the worst crimes you can commit. The payoff to risk ratio is terrible!

Rob a target in California. It’s probably the best risk reward out there.

Going where the money's at! Dang right! I mean, who's ever gonna get rich robbing a jellybean factory? Diabetes, yes, but rich?
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
If you are going to rob a bank you use a stolen car which you dump off a mile or two from the scene. Bad guy 101.
