The FBI has arrested a man accused of putting on a suit and tie, robbing a South Florida bank and then leaving in a taxi.
Jeffrey Harrington, 27, of North Miami, is accused of robbing the Bank of America branch in Hallandale Beach on Tuesday morning. He was arrested Wednesday.
According to the FBI, Harrington handed the teller a note demanding the teller fill envelopes with money and warning the teller not to set off the alarm because it would trigger an explosive device.
The note also read: "Remember the money is insured. Don't be a hero."
Authorities said Harrington left the bank and got into a parked taxicab that had picked him up from his home earlier that morning.
After the robbery, the taxi dropped Harrington off at the barbershop where he works, authorities said.
A co-worker told the FBI he saw Harrington at the barbershop putting a large amount of money in his pocket.
Federal prosecutors in Miami said Harrington made an initial court appearance Thursday morning and is scheduled to have his pretrial detention hearing next Thursday.
