Deputies said Sonny Tho Leu robbed the first bank in Temecula around 12 p.m. where he was reportedly wearing a black baseball cap, dark clothing and he was carrying an orange utility bag, according to the Murrieta Police Department.
The second robbery happened around 12:20 p.m. at a bank in the 40000 block of California Oaks Road. A bank employee reported the crime and gave a similar description of the suspect.
The third robbery was reported just before 1 p.m. at a bank in the 25000 block of Hancock Avenue, police said.
During all three robberies, Leu passed a note demanding money from the bank clerk and took off with an undisclosed amount of money.
Getting away with a bank robbery is a lot more likely than you’d think, I think only about 60% of cases are solved by the police. That’s not great, you’re betting the farm on slightly worse odds than a coin toss. But if I did win said coin toss, I seriously cannot fathom immediately tossing not one but two more coins.
