Police in Grand Rapids, Michigan, caught a bank robbery suspect when he tried to hold up the same credit union twice in one month.

Here’s why we at dumbcrooks.com say “tried”: Employees of the West Michigan Credit Union on Front Avenue recognized him before he could actually enter the place.

A worker thought that the unidentified man was also responsible for a hold-up that occurred on January 9. Employees locked the door before he could get inside and called the cops.

Officers arrested the man as he tried to drive away. He’s from Newaygo.

He later confessed to the previous robbery and admitted that he planned to hold up the credit union a third time.
