(EASTBOURNE HERALD) – Police said Alan Slattery, 67, retired, of Stonehouse Drive, St Leonards, was given a six-year extended sentence when he appeared at Lewes Crown Court on Friday, July 16.
Slattery entered three banks in Eastbourne and Hastings in the space of two weeks, and used written notes to ask the cashiers to hand over money, officers said.
According to police, his first attempt was at the Nationwide Building Society in Terminus Road, Eastbourne, at 10.45am on March 18, 2021, but due to ‘poor’ handwriting, the employee was unable to read the note and Slattery left empty-handed.
