Polite Man Robs Chicago Bank With Note Vowing To ‘Pay It Back Soon’ — Just Days After Being Cleared Of Another Bank Robbery

A shockingly polite man robbed a Chicago bank with a note vowing to “pay it back soon” on Monday — less than 72 hours after he was acquitted of committing a similar bank robbery.

Two years ago, Mohamed Worku walked into a local bank and pressed a note against the glass that read, “Give me the money please, thank you,” and left with about $595.

He was found about half an hour later, with about $100 less and the note still in his possession, according to the Chicago Tribune.

But in court, Worku’s attorney argued that even though he committed a crime, it did not amount to robbery — which she said involves stealing something by force or “intimidation,” the Tribune reports.

In Worku’s demand for the money, attorney Mary Judge claimed, there were “no implicit or explicit threats of any kind.”

A jury agreed, and Worku, 31, was released from custody on Friday.

But on Monday afternoon, Worku allegedly walked into another bank in Lincoln Park and handed an employee a note, reading: “Please Give me the money. I’ll pay it back soon. Bankers Gife (sic) to me in advance,” according to a new criminal complaint.

It says the bank teller gave Worku more than $2,000 and allowed him to walk out before calling police.

The teller described the suspect as wearing a surgical mask, neon green gloves and a neon green winter cap, CWB Chicago reports.

Investigators later found surveillance footage of a man matching the description still wearing the green hat and gloves, buying clothing and a backpack at a nearby Target store.

After making the purchase, he allegedly changed into new clothes, ditched some of his old clothes and headed out the door — though he kept his neon hat and gloves.

Worku was arrested just about half an hour after the alleged robbery, with about $200 less than what he had been given at the bank.

He is now set to be charged with both bank robbery and bank theft, which do not require force or intimidation.

He figures he got away with it the first time he'd try it again. This time the prosecutors got it right and charged him with the correct crime.
