When bank employees “took too long to comply” with Circuit’s demand, he fled the scene. Police identified Circuit from video surveillance inside the store, according to the press release. Several hours later, police found Circuit in front of the CVS store on East Dunne Avenue, and arrested him on suspicion of attempted bank robbery, police said.
