Valentine’s Day Heist Not So Sweet

EUSTIS, Fla. – A robber used flowers to pull off a Valentine’s Day heist at Insight Financial CU on Monday, and the robbery was caught on surveillance.

The assailant was identified as 63-year-old Jack Otto, who used the flowers to hide a long shotgun, which he pulled out to demand cash from the teller.

Detectives said Otto came from the Gator’s Dockside Bar across the street and had stolen the gun from a friend.

Authorities are searching for the robber.
