Cazals was eventually detained in the parking lot of Portland Glass until police could arrive. He had been identified by the Key Bank manager as the suspect in a theft at the Augusta branch the day previous. His gimmick is to ask for $20 bills in exchange for 100s, when they hand him the 20s he tells him that he wanted traveler’s checks and hands the 20s back, but not before he palms some of them. He then says he is late for an appointment and has to leave. Augusta had alerted other area branches and had sent a photo of the suspect. When he entered Lewiston’s, he was immediately recognized. The warrant out of N.J. was for fraud, he also has a history of armed robbery.
