68-Year-Old California Man Arrested After Robbing Bank of $200 and Trying to Escape Using Walker
The robbery occurred at 10:30 AM when the man handed a bank teller a note demanding money. His request was met when he received a bag with $200 and a tracker. Authorities report that the robber headed west on Fulton Street and was found shortly afterward. According Fresno PD Lt. Bill Dooley said of the arrest:
“Officers were in the area and, with the help of the bank tracker and his slow movement, were able to locate him on Fulton just north of Fresno Street.”
When police found the man, he was sitting on a bench not far from the bank and taking a rest. He was arrested and the money was returned to the Wells Fargo location. Authorities noted that the man has a lengthy criminal record but didn’t specify the charges or how far back the charges go.
Since this was the robbery of a financial institution, the Federal Bureau of Investigation will be handling the case.
