NEW TONIGHT, TALK ABOUT THE

LOWEST OF THE LOW.

THIEVES LURKING OUTSIDE A BANK

WATCHING FOR SOMEONE TO COME

OUT WITH A MONEY BAG OR

ENVELOPE, AND THEN FOLLOWING

THEM AND ROBBING THEM OF THEIR

WHEN A ROUTINE TRIP TO THE BANK

LEFT HIS BRUISED AND BROKE.

HE PULLED OUT A LOT OF THE

CASH.

IT WAS 6,000.

REPORTER: FROM THIS WELLS

FARGO.

SO MUCH CASH.

BECAUSE I'M GOING TO NEW

YORK.

REPORTER: IN VISIT HIS WIFE.

HE LEFT THE BANK AND DROVE TO

THE STORE AND PUT THE MONEY IN

HIS BACK POCKET.

HE MADE IT JUST A FEW FEET FROM

HIS CAR BEFORE HE WAS HIT IN

THE PARKING LOT.

IT WAS SO FAST.

I FELT HIM REACH FOR MY POCKET,

THEN I TURNED AROUND AND ENDED

UP ON THE FLOOR.

HE WAS TRYING STILL FOR THE

POCKET.

I WAS TRYING TO PUSH HIM AWAY

AND YELLING HELP.

REPORTER: DETECTIVES BELIEVE

THE TWO SUSPECTS TARGETED EDDIE

BACK AT THE BANK AND SAW HIM

WALK OUT WITH THE ENVELOPE.

FROM THE SCENE, AND APPROACHED

AT THE SCENE AND THEY ACTUALLY

KNEW WHICH POCKET THE MONEY WAS

IN.

I GOT UP AND CHECKED THE

POCKET, AND IT WAS GONE

ALREADY.

DESCRIBED TO BE IN HIS 20s WITH

DREAD LOCKS, AND THERE ARE

THINGS YOU CAN DO TO PREVENT

THIS FROM HAPPENING TO YOU.

YOU EVER WALK OUT OF THE

BUILDING.

SAME THING FOR AN ATM.

BEFORE YOU TURN AROUND FROM THE

MACHINE PUT THAT CASH IN YOUR

PURSE OR YOUR WALLET.

Trump Security Adviser Urges Russia To Rethink Support For Syria - Duration: 4:19.

Trump Security Adviser Urges Russia To Rethink Support For Syria

Donald Trump�s National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster has urged Russia to re-evaluate

its support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, while suggesting more military action against

Syria is likely.

McMaster said the US has a dual goal of defeating ISIS and removing Assad from power.

Independent journalist Mike Cernovich has revealed that McMaster is manipulating intelligence

that is given to President Trump in order to deploy 150,000 ground troop to Syria and

implement a full scale war.

Press TV reports:

McMaster said Moscow is �part of the problem� because it is backing Damascus in the Syrian

conflict.

�If we would want to appeal rationally to Russia, this is a great opportunity for the

Russian leadership to re-evaluate what they�re doing,� he said.

�Right now, I think everyone in the world sees Russia as part of the problem.�

The comments came as US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson planned to meet with Russian

officials this week.

Tillerson will be the first official from the administration of US President Donald

Trump to visit Moscow.

However, the Kremlin said on Monday that Tillerson will not meet President Vladimir Putin, highlighting

tensions between Washington and Moscow.

�We have not announced any such meetings and right now there is no meeting with Tillerson

in the president�s diary,� Putin�s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters.

He did not say why Putin was not planning to receive the top US diplomat.

McMaster said the objective of the US missile strike against Syria on Friday was to send

a �strong political message to Assad� to stop using chemical weapons.

�We are prepared to do more,� he said.

�The president will make whatever decision he thinks is in the best interest of the American

people.�
