$2K mistakenly put in Taco Bell customer’s bag
A young woman in her 20s, driving a silver SUV, got more than burritos when she went through the drive through at the Taco Bell on Brown Street, near the University of Dayton campus and Miami Valley Hospital.
Instead of a bag containing her order, she got a bag containing the restaurant’s morning bank deposit — about $2,000.
Police were called to the restaurant around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 11. An employee said she was working the drive-through window and mistakenly gave the customer the bank deposit. The restaurant manager explained it was store policy to put the bank bag containing the deposit in a Taco Bell bag. The manager would then drive up to the drive-through window, and an employee would hand him the bag.
Security footage showed the transaction but not the license plate of the vehicle. Police contacted a regular customer who was in line behind the SUV. He said he could not remember the license plate on the SUV. He and the employee described the driver as a college-age woman with black or brown shoulder-length hair, wearing a white shirt with a red sweater, zip-up jacket or sweatshirt over it.
A search through the neighborhood for the vehicle was fruitless.
When last seen, the driver, vehicle and Taco Bell bag of money were heading south on Brown Street.
