Robber goes back to bank to return money

A man who allegedly robbed a bank of $1,100 yesterday made it easy on police.

Authorities said that just minutes after Andre M. Ellis, 39, robbed an ESB Bank in Ambridge, they caught him standing in front of the bank trying to return the money.

"He felt bad about it so he tried to do the right thing," said Ambridge Police Chief David Sabol. "I've never seen anything like it."

The heist didn't appear to be the work of a hardened bank robber.

According to police, Ellis walked into the bank just before 10 a.m. and slipped a teller a note asking for money. It also asked for God's forgiveness and said he wouldn't be robbing a bank if he wasn't in trouble, police said.

After Ellis left, bank employees called authorities, who fanned out across the area to look for him. Within minutes, an assisting officer from Harmony Township called Ambridge police to say the suspect was standing outside the bank.

He had been knocking on the now-locked bank's windows, trying to get employees' attention.

Ellis, of Ambridge, was charged with robbery, theft and receiving stolen property. He was jailed after failing to post $100,000 bond.
