Alleged Bank Robber Didn't Know When to Quit

Try to rob a bank and they're going to find you, especially if you've already been arrested on the day you attempt it.

Officials at the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office said yesterday that Cheung Lee, 41, of Avenel, N.J., has been caught and connected to the attempted robbery of the Wells Fargo on Prospect Avenue in Little Silver on Tuesday, May 31.

East Windsor police said Lee called 911 there at 12:51 p.m. Tuesday and told them a large building was going to be destroyed. He was charged with false public alarm and improper use of the 911 system, then released on 10 percent of $5,000 bail and pending court action.

Later in the day, he arrived at the Little Silver bank and tried to rob it, but failed. More details on that to come later today.
