A Detroit bank robber who targeted four different banks was located by the FBI after writing his demands on his paycheck stub.
On the news, we are accustomed to seeing dumb criminals who risk their freedom for various reasons and end up in jail thanks to their own negligence. According to ClickOnDetroit the FBI has been searching for bank robbers who targeted four banks in Eastpointe, Grosse Pointe Woods, Harper Woods, and Redford Township. The Redford Township robbery is when it all started falling apart for the thieves. Reportedly Collin Carl Love Jr. walked into Community Choice Credit Union and handed the teller a note.
“I want $20,000 dollars. All 100 dollar bills no dye packs no tracking devices or funny business I have a gun and I will shoot somebody PSA give me this check back when done!”
The bank teller went to the back to get the money and told the manager what was going down. While the manager called authorities the teller gave Love $4,000. Once the police arrive they learned Love left behind his demand note which was written on a paycheck stub. Interestingly enough the paycheck stub was from a temp agency in Troy and the account belonged to Love. The temp agency also provided police Love’s cellphone number, which authorities traced to CashApp accounts.
During the Harper Woods bank robbery, he once again used a paycheck stub. Which was tested by the FBI and returned a match for his fingerprint. After comparing the handwriting with a sample from a denied firearm application police had their man. Eventually, police were able to gather enough information to arrest Love on probable cause.
