FBI officials describe modern bank holdup suspects as young and dumb. Statistics show 24 of 37 bank robbers died in 1974, average take around 1500 dollars, and 70 to 80 percent are caught. Many robberies involve unarmed or panicked offenders despite cameras aiding law enforcement.
In Fresno a branch of Bank of America was robbed of an undetermined amount and a second attempted holdup at a Security Pacific branch yielded $1,500. A man named Coy Rightnour, 26, was captured in the Manchester Center parking lot after pursuit by bank staff and bystanders.
