ORLANDO, Fla. -- A man who passed a note announcing a robbery to a teller at an Orlando credit union turned around and walked away without any money, deputies said.
The incident occurred at about 10:25 a.m. Friday at the First Florida Credit Union on Edgewater Drive.
Nearby Edgewater and Bishop Moore high schools were locked down for about an hour while Orange County sheriff's deputies searched for the man.
The culprit was described as a black man in his mid-30s, about 6 feet tall and 200 pounds. He was wearing a dark, heavy jacket and gray hat that may have the word "Florida" on it.
Local 6 News initially reported that the man robbed the credit union.
Anyone with information about the robbery is urged to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.
