Delaware State Troopers have arrested Thomas J. Love, 40, of New Castle, in connection with the attempted robbery of a WSFS Bank that occurred over the weekend.

The incident occurred on Saturday, October 8, at approximately 2:50 p.m. as Love entered the WSFS Bank in the Crossroads Shopping Center, located at 2080 New Castle Avenue, New Castle. Love approached the 46 year-old bank teller and presented a demand note written on a deposit slip. After receiving the note, the teller could not decipher what Love had written, and handed it back to him, and asked that he rewrite it so that it could be reread. Love then fled the bank on foot empty handed. A description of the robbery suspect was given to Troopers and New Castle County Police that were responding to the bank for the robbery. A New Castle County Police Officer was able to locate Love in the area of New Castle Avenue and Rodney Drive, and took him into custody. There were no injuries as a result of this incident.

Thomas J. Love was charged with Attempted Robbery Second Degree and committed to HRYCI on $2,000 Cash Bond.

This guy needs a new line of work. He just doesn't have the look that instills fear into bank tellers - more like pity. Looks like he was crying too - that's not good either.
