A 53-year-old Capitol Heights man pleaded guilty this week to a caper gone bad, trying to rob a bank with the aid of a Prince George’s County police officer.

A year ago, Cpl. Eddie Lee Smith Jr., approached Earl Blake with the offer of a job — a break-in at a Temple Hills bank, according to court documents. The cop said he would cut the burglar alarm, unlock the doors and stand watch in his police cruiser, prosecutors said. All Blake had to do was hack open the ATM safe.
