San Jose man arrested for 2 failed bank robberies

SAN JOSE, Calif. – One San Jose man went home with only the pennies in his pocket after he failed to rob two banks back in May. Now, he’s been arrested.

Police allege Kiet Vu entered a bank where he approached the teller with a handwritten note demanding money. The teller refused to give Vu any money and he left the bank. Two days later, Vu attempted another robbery at a different bank; this time telling the teller he had a firearm on the note.

The teller also refused to give Vu money and he left before police arrived.
