I’ve been wearing a white shirt all day! Phew!
Isn’t there video surveillance in each & every bank???
Also- why did the teller give money if he showed no weapon???
Should Lakewood Shomrim start monitoring bank branches?
it does not matter if he doesnt show a weapan they dont take chances with there life
Is Menashe Miller Origially from Boston?
The banks instruct their tellers to give the money without any questions, they rather lose money then have someone killed. It’s up to the bank to instal a video camera, although they may have them, but maybe the image of the robber wasn’t legible. Who knows. All I know is, I have video surveillance in and on my house and car. You can never be too careful 🙂
i heard the robber dropped of 10% “ma’aser” in the pushka on his way out of the bank.
