The clerk left the counter to get her manager and the man tried to pay for the items with a credit card that was declined. He left the store before police arrived.
After seeing the surveillance, Miami police determined he was the same man who attempted to rob a bank robbery at Chase Bank branch at 2001 Biscayne Boulevard about an hour earlier.
Miami police describe the man as about 5 feet 6 inches tall with short dreadlocks in a ponytail, a mustache and a goatee. They said he appears to be between 30-35 years old and was last seen wearing a black shirt, black shorts, black sneakers and sunglasses.
