Amanda Butterfield ReportingThree Key Banks in Salt Lake City have been robbed in the past couple of weeks; that includes one today. In all of the robberies, there's something each suspect missed, that may get them caught.

A Key Bank was robbed just today, another one on 21st south was hit twice in the past two weeks. The bad guys in both cases are underestimating surveillance cameras.

Paul Jaroscak, SL County Sheriff's Depart.: "These are probably the clearest pictures I've ever seen in surveillance video or photographs."

So clear, Sgt. Paul Jaroscak doesn't see any other option than for this suspect to turn himself in.

Sgt. Jaroscak: "He will be recognizable; anyone who sees these pictures will see him."

The suspects that robbed the Key Bank last week, and then again on Monday, at least tried to cover their faces with ski masks. But still, surveillance video was able to pick up other clues, like what they were wearing on their feet.

Detective Dwayne Baird: "Those boots appeared that he'd been wearing them to work."

It's likely he does something in construction.

Det. Dwayne Baird: "Over the last few years, they've gone from video tape, which was the old technology used, to digital cameras."

And the cameras were even rolling when, police say, the suspects came in the day before they robbed the place to check it out.

Both the Sheriff and Police departments hope that someone watching the video will know these guys and turn them in. Or better yet, that if the suspects are watching, they'll recognize themselves, and turn themselves in.

The younger man that robbed the bank today didn't even get away with any money. As he was running from the building with the cash in a bag, the dye pack exploded and he dropped the money.
