The money may have been obtained by using a number of different bank cards.
Never wise to carry around a big sum of money if it can be helped.

Cash withdrawal sums are limited. If he was being hassled then why didn't he go into a shop and ask them to call the police?

Must have been taken out in multiple transactions (with different cards) so not exactly subtle. If you do need this much cash, withdraw at the counter and hide it before leaving the bank!
