Orlando Bank Teller Refuses Suspected Robber's Demands

Police in Orlando, Fla., are searching for a Hispanic man who allegedly attempted to rob a bank Thursday but left without money when the teller did not comply with his demands.

Investigators said the man walked into the Washington Mutual Bank located at 2710 S, Orange Ave. and handed a note to a teller demanding money.

The teller did not comply and kept the note, police said.

The man then walked out of the bank, ran across Orange Avenue and boarded a Lynx bus, officials said. He was last seen wearing a light tan shirt with light color pants.

Anyone with information concerning the crime is urged to call Crimeline at 800-243-TIPS.

What are people saying about mortgages today:

Rates on 30-year mortgages edged down last week to a seven-month low. Mortgage-giant Freddie Mac reported Thursday that 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages fell to 6.3 percent, down slightly from 6.31 percent two weeks ago. It put rates at the lowest level since they were at 6.24 percent the first week of March.

Bank of Hawaii, Central Pacific Bank, Territorial Savings Bank and Wells Fargo Home Mortgages all cut their 30-year mortgage rates to 5.75 percent this week.

Most people think of a mortgage as a means to an end. After all, you buy a house, not a home loan. But a mortgage is much more than the path to homeownership. It is a financial instrument that must be managed, just like any other financial investment.
