Authorities are hunting for three men who strapped a bomb onto a Bank of America
employee and forced him to withdraw a large amount of cash from the branch where
he worked as a teller.
The employee was led away from the bank by authorities after the explosives that
had been strapped to his back were de-activated and removed.
Coral Gables Police Chief Richard Naue said today that the man was told, "We have
a remote triggering device. We want you to get as much money as you can."
Though authorities did not identify the victim at a press conference today, saying
only that he was an "Hispanic male," ABC's Miami affiliate WPLG reported that police
sources identified him as 26-year-old Diego Uscamayta.
The victim was kidnapped by two men who, along with a third suspect, broke into his
South Miami home around midnight, Naue said. The victim was home with his father at
the time of the intrusion, police said. Shortly before 8 a.m., two of the men,
wearing masks, left for the bank with the teller. The third man remained with the
teller's father, police said.
New spin on home invasion huh?
Reminds me of the Patty Hurst story.
