TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Police (TPD) are searching for a suspect seen on surveillance video robbing a bank on Tuesday morning and then fleeing on an e-bike.

TPD said a man went into the bank located in the 4000 block of W. Neptune Street around 9:20 a.m. He then approached the teller and demanded money.

The man was wearing a dark colored hoodie, jeans, gloves, a white bandana and sunglasses.

TPD said the suspect implied he had a weapon, but one was not seen.

Surveillance video shows the person grabbing money and putting it into a garbage bag.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
