MGN

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say a man suspected of robbing a Southern California bank was arrested when he returned to try and rob the same branch the following day.

Police in the city of Fountain Valley say the man fled with a large amount of cash Monday afternoon after giving Chase bank teller a note demanding money.

The next morning, police received a call about another robbery in progress at the same bank.

Officers responded and arrested the 33-year-old suspect.

The man has prior robbery convictions and was being held at the Orange County Jail for lack of $170,000 bail.
