The man who walked into Fifth Third bank in Parrish yesterday, demanding cash and threatening to blow up the bank has been arrested along with an accomplice.

 

Last night, detectives tracked down Robert Dietrich Frascella (DOB: 06/05/1967) and charged him with Armed Robbery and False Threat of an Explosive Device. During the investigation, detectives learned that Thomas Harris (DOB: 01/25/1991) acted as the driver of the getaway vehicle and was part of the bank robbery plan. He is also charged with Armed Robbery and False Threat of an Explosive Device. Both men were taken into custody and several pieces of evidence were found in their possession. Some of the stolen money was recovered.

The backpack left behind in the bank did not contain explosive material. The MCSO Bomb Squad removed a suspicious box from the bag and discovered only glassware inside.

 

The FBI is also investigating this case.

Shortly before 2:40 pm today (08/08/22) an unidentified man entered the bank at 11215 US 301 N, Parrish and approached the bank counter. The suspect dropped a package on the counter along with a note demanding cash, and a threatening statement about “blowing up” the bank. The teller handed over an undisclosed amount of cash, and moments later, the suspect walked out of the bank.

He was seen driving away in a possibly older Ford Fusion, blue in color. Deputies are following leads, and looking for him now. The MCSO Bomb Squad is on the scene and examining a devise left behind to determine if it is in fact explosive.

The suspect appears to be an older white male, around 5’9, 170lbs, with a mustache and goatee. He was wearing a blue shirt, gray shorts, white tennis shoes, and tan fishing-style hat.
