As far as bank robberies go, a holdup at Brickell's Navy Federal Credit Union yesterday afternoon was remarkably chill. A bald man in a neat sports coat calmly told a teller he had a bomb and then watched her fill a pink envelop with cash. Then, as his Uber driver streamed the surreal scene live to Facebook, the man began ranting about why he wanted the money.
"I'm going to surrender, OK, once I give this money away to people who are poor," he told the frightened bank manager. "I just want to speak before Congress."
Miami's weirdest holdup only got stranger from there, as the Uber driver streamed live video for hours as he drove the supposedly bomb-toting man to Ocean Drive, where he showered the cash on random passersby and then called in a bomb threat. Eventually, the FBI swooped in and took both men in to custody.
The FBI has charged the bank robber, identified as Enrique Antonio Gamez, a 35-year-old Miramar resident. The Uber driver, who has yet to be identified, has not been charged in the incident.
