Money comes and goes but no one expects to be robbed of it as you get it in your hand. That's what happened to a man this morning around 11:00.
Lewis Tillett - who is described in a report as an elderly man - had just exited the St. John's Credit Union on Basra Street and was riding his bicycle when a man approached him, threw him off his bike and stole the $2,000 he had just withdrawn from his credit union account. It was a merciless beatdown in the open street. Although the thief escaped, the assault and robbery was caught on surveillance camera. Many who've seen it point to the slow moving security guards - who hardly ran to help the victim.
Still, police have a suspect based on the video and are looking for a 22 year old man from the Port Loyola area.
