Title: British bank robber caught -- after customer realises his gun is fake Post by: ganabb on July 27, 2014, 04:13:41 AM Andrew Fernandez could have gotten away with his third bank robbery if it wasn’t for one extremely observant customer.
As Fernandez pointed a gun at the bank teller and demanded money, a customer realized his gun was a fake. James Rowley, the customer, chased Fernandez out of the bank to the parking lot. Rowley and his co-worker, who was waiting for him in the car outside, managed to detain Fernandez long enough for the police to come and arrest the would-be robber. It turned out he was a suspect in two similar robberies. Fernandez later pleaded guilty to the three crimes and was sentenced to life behind bars. As for 34 year old Rowley, he received a Police Public Bravery Award, a Commendation and a £1,200 reward for his bravery.
