A Florida teenager has been arrested for allegedly attempting to rob a Wells Fargo bank on Sept. 6, while donning a mask and bright pink shower cap, according to authorities.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said the suspect, later identified as a 17-year-old Black male, entered the Wells Fargo on West Waters Avenue in Tampa, Florida at about 2:15 p.m. on Sept. 6.
Once inside, the suspect approached a teller and passed a note demanding money and claiming he was in possession of a gun.
