Illegal Venezuelan Man Tries To Take Bank Robbery 'Up A Notch' But His Tactics Failed Miserably

In an unusual bank robbery attempt, a purported undocumented immigrant from Venezuela, identified as 20-year-old Yeixon Brito-Gonzalez, employed a translator application on his mobile device to demand money from bank tellers in Sandusky, Ohio.

However, his unconventional approach was unsuccessful, and he was soon apprehended by law enforcement.

The incident unfolded on April 4, when local police were notified about a suspicious individual inside a bank who was communicating with the tellers through his phone without uttering a word, as reported by FOX 8.

Sandusky Police Chief Jared Oliver confirmed that bank security footage clearly depicted Brito-Gonzalez using the translator app to relay messages such as "get the money" and "put the money in the bag" to the bank employees. Despite his persistent demands, the tellers did not acquiesce, prompting Brito-Gonzalez to exit the bank without any loot. His freedom was fleeting, as Sandusky officers promptly apprehended him in the vicinity following the incident.

"In my over 20 years of law enforcement, I've never seen someone attempt to use a translator app as a means to commit a crime like this," Chief Oliver remarked to FOX 8, describing the incident as a first for the department.

Upon his arrest, a Spanish-speaking officer conversed with Brito-Gonzalez, who disclosed that he had recently become unemployed and was in dire need of money. Despite his financial predicament, Brito-Gonzalez refuted any intent to rob the bank, insisting that he had merely requested the bank to give him money.

Brito-Gonzalez now faces charges of attempted robbery, attempted theft, and criminal trespassing. The case has also piqued the interest of federal authorities, with Chief Oliver revealing that customs and border control have placed a hold on Brito-Gonzalez, prompting inquiries about his legal status in the United States.
