Daytona Beach, FL - Investigators are looking for a robber who walked out of a Daytona Beach bank with a bag full of money and fled the scene after throwing the money into some bushes. The Daytona Beach Police Department says it happened around 9:15 AM Saturday at the Wells Fargo branch on 441 Seabreeze Boulevard. According to the incident report, a tanned white man in his late 20's or early 30's came into the bank, went to the counter and handed the teller a note demanding money.
