Janitor helps bust late-night burglar inside Kennewick bank
A janitor at Bank of America got a surprise when he spotted a man opening cash drawers inside the bank in the middle of the night.
Police say Oscar Garcia III, 25, broke into the bank on 3420 W. Kennewick Ave. at 10:20 p.m. and went behind the counter.
He didn’t notice the person cleaning the office, Kennewick Sgt. Chris Littrell said in a news release.
The janitor ducked into a safe spot and called police.
Officers found Garcia, who was armed with a gun, still in the bank.
He was arrested and brought to the Benton County jail and booked on suspicion of first-degree burglary.
