Bank robber hired a cab, asked the driver to wait, entered the bank, and robbed £3,000 at knifepoint

It was a bank robbery with a difference – the bank robber hurriedly prepared his heist while sitting in a taxi on the way to the bank. He asked the driver to wait while he went inside and robbed £3,000 from the cashier at knifepoint. Then he used the same cab as his getaway vehicle.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 29 March 2015.

The man has been identified as a 24-year-old of no fixed abode. He had boarded a taxi from a McDonald's in Milton Keynes to a NatWest branch in Bletchley, four miles away, on January 12. Once there, he asked the driver to wait, and went into the bank. Once there he handed a note he had scribbled in the back of the taxi to the cashier. It said – ‘remain calm, stay silent, do not cause a panic. I have a knife and I will take hostages if I have to. This is not a joke.'
Well – the man was wearing a smart suit at the time of the robbery and did not look like a bank robber. The cashier gave him £3,379 but also activated the alarm. He even asked the robber if he wanted the money in an envelope.
Anyway, the robber ran back to the taxi and fled to the Channel Islands where the police found him and brought him back to England. The bank robber has been jailed for 21-months.
