Florida Bank Left Doors Unlocked On Juneteenth
Oh yes, you read the headline right. “Florida bank left doors unlocked on Juneteenth.” This bank is located in Hobe Sound which is about 3 hours from where I live in St. Petersburg. This story is very strange because the man who attempted to rob the bank that day, went inside but left when he could not find any money. Many are saying it sounds like an inside job.
Florida Man Attempted To Rob Bank
According to the Martin County sheriff’s department, a Florida man tried to rob a bank by wearing a mask that he purchased at a nearby gas station. He was caught on camera attempting to rob the Wells Fargo Bank which is located on U.S 1 in Hobe Sound. Cops were alerted that there was a bank robbery in progress around 7 p.m.
When cops arrived to the Wells Fargo, no one was inside. Police say the alarm company notified them that they waited a least an hour before calling them. By that time the masked man was gone. After investigating a suspect by the name of Colton Vanhonhenstien was identified. He was caught on camera purchasing the mask at the gas station.
After purchasing the mask he waked across the street and walked straight into the unlocked doors of the bank. He went through everything but the drawers and cabinets were empty. Vanhonhenstien left the bank empty handed. He now faces burglary charges.
Police are still trying to figure out why the doors of the bank were unlocked and why the security company waited an hour to call them. As I stated earlier, many people are speculating that this was an inside a job. It sounds like it to me as well. I mean, how does one just leave the doors of a bank wide open? Makes no sense.
