Advisory

Bank Robber Caught!

We got an assist from an alert fellow community member. Here’s the story: a man wearing a curly wig and mask walked into the bank with a demand note for money. He then put what was later found to be a loaded firearm on the counter. When a customer in the bank noticed what was happening, they called our dispatch and provided an excellent description. The customer watched as the man rode away on his bike and directly into the path of officers who were coming on scene. The man had the bank’s money, a loaded gun and other getaway tools.

Without the keen awareness of the customer, this bank robbery may have been more difficult to solve. Thank you!
