Kettering police were dispatched just before 11:30 a.m. to the bank branch at 4120 Far Hills Ave. after a manager called 911 and activated the bank’s alarms.

“Daniel Freytag presented a teller … with a note stating, ‘Please give me the money without saying a thing,’ while whispering ‘hurry,’ causing the teller to fear for her safety,” an affidavit filed in Kettering Municipal Court stated.

One of the responding officers spotted Freytag, who matched the description provided of the bank robbery suspect, and he was quickly apprehended, according to police.

Following the robbery, Fifth Third Bank was closed for hours and cleared of customers. No injuries were reported.
