Police say the man accused of robbing First National Bank in Bloomfield Thursday did the same thing earlier this year. Police were told by bank workers a man wearing a suit gave a note to a teller demanding cash. It said he had a gun. Police say Aaron Roth walked out with almost 5-thousand dollars, but was quickly arrested. Court records show Roth was arrested in April, accused of holding up Chase Bank in Shadyside. The criminal complaint says Roth showed a silver revolver and left the bank with 5-hundred dollars. After his arrest, Magistrate Kate Lovelace freed him on non-monetary bond. One of the conditions for Roth's release was to stay away from bank buildings.
