Badly written ransom note foils bank robber

A US bank robber was foiled because the clerk couldn't read his handwriting on a ransom note.

He then began to explain he was robbing the bank - but the clerk couldn't understand his speech either.

He fled empty handed but minutes later robbed another bank over the street in Hallandale Beach, Florida, this time using a more legibly written note. The robber first went in to Bank United with his note demanding cash. The bank clerk couldn't read the note and asked the man what he wanted, Police Captain Chris Hock said. He said the man then offered spoken demands, but the teller was unable to understand his mix of Spanish and English.

A commotion ensued and the man hurriedly left the bank empty-handed. Ten minutes later the man robbed a SouthTrust Bank across the street, using the same tactics with a more legible note. The teller gave the man some cash and he left. No one was injured and no one at the bank saw any weapons and is still at large.
