“I have been in law enforcement for over 20 years and this is the first time I encountered something like this, someone using a translator app to try and rob a bank,” says Sandusky police chief.
A suspected illegal alien from Venezuela was arrested after trying to rob a bank using a translator in Sandusky, Ohio, earlier this month.
“We have no way to tell if he is here legally or not,” said Sandusky Police Chief Jared Oliver. “But he has no proof of identification.”
“It has been brought to my attention customs and border control put a hold on him,” Oliver said.
An illegal migrant from Venezuela tried to rob a bank in Sadusky, Ohio.
The only problem?
He couln’t figure out how to say “give me your money” so he had to type it into a translator app…

Police were able to arrest 20-year-old Yeixon Brito-Gonzalez when he left the bank after he tried using the translator to demand money from the tellers.
From FOX 8:
The I-Team obtained bank security video that police says shows the suspect holding up his phone to the tellers. Police say the suspect did not speak English and was using a translator app to tell tellers “get the money” and “put the money in the bag.”
When the tellers did not give him any money, he left.
“I have been in law enforcement for over 20 years and this is the first time I encountered something like this, someone using a translator app to try and rob a bank,” Oliver said. “First time our officers have dealt with it too. “
Sandusky officers found him a short time later, and an officer who spoke Spanish read him his rights and talked to him.
According to a police report, the officer said the suspect told him he recently lost his job and needed money.
The suspect faces charges of attempted robbery, attempted theft and criminal trespassing.
