Boston Police report arresting Edward Tarencz, 30, on a charge of unarmed bank robbery for an incident yesterday at the TD Bank branch at 24 Winter St.
Police say Tarencz waked into the bank shortly after noon and gave a note to a teller demanding money.
According to bank employees, at no time did the suspect display or show a weapon. When the teller saw the note, she alerted the bank’s in-house security guard. When the security guard approached the suspect, the suspect exited the bank.
Tarencz was, as they say, known to police, and was known to frequent a particular spot downtown; when officers arrived there, they spotted him and detained him so that other officers could bring a bank employee down to ID him, police say.
Innocent, etc.

What a novel idea!
A security guard! Who would have thought that such a personage inside a bank might deter bank robbers! Not only that, it provides a JOB to someone! What'll they think of next?

But if the robber has a gun
the presence of a security guard might cause the robber to start shooting the guard, employees, and customers.
Just give the robber some money and a dye pack, and get them to walk out quickly and quietly. The police can handle them somewhere without anyone getting shot.
Very rare that happens.
The small percentage of bank robbers who actually have guns, only rob banks that don't have armed security guards. Half ass junkies (probably 90% of all bank robbers I've seen in MA) don't use guns and don't have much common sense.
He was trying to steal money
So that he could buy a vowel.
