So you are a bank teller and someone comes in to rob the bank wearing a hood and a scarf to hide his features. How do you identify the criminal? You might just try asking him to take off his disguise.

Police said Brian Waltermyer, 33, walked into the Integrity Bank in York on Thursday evening. He was wearing a hood. As he approached the teller, carrying a note demanding money, the teller asked him to remove the hood. He did, giving the bank surveillance cameras a crystal-clear view of his face.

Officers who watched the tape recognized Waltermyer and tellers were able to identify him from a photo lineup, police said.

You have to like compliant criminals.
