Ross said a bank teller also failed to take any action to prevent the robbery.

The man ran off with the money, leaving Ross bruised and without the funds to pay her bills.

Cameras were able to record a clear image of the suspect’s face, and police are offering a $3,000 reward in hopes someone will recognize him.
