that are in the area here in case he's still did you see what direction he left when he left no did you no I didn't see but I I would say he had on sneakers okay um like maybe a black and gray or a blue and a gray I did see sneakers yeah um and I think he had on the officer questions employees Gathering key details to help track down the suspect how old do you think he was uh probably maybe late 20th or late 30th he didn't okay blackmail dark complected uh 61 62 in height around 220 lbs thought he was in his late 20s maybe early 30s gray hoodie uh what they believe was sweatpants uh the shoes were either black and gray or blue and gray sneakers and his back carrying a uh black and white camo backpack short hair with a some kind of a cap on good yeah I was just telling what the backpack looked like it was you can it was that was prominent I can remember that sounds like he left out the West doors but they don't know which direction after that and you were in the so you'd come into here or you we started out in Here We Were both in here okay and I think we heard the door the outside door open alerting us that there was somebody in the foyer okay so we would either Buzz the person in or go open the door to look it's okay it's okay okay it's okay right so um Nick went out to greet our memb as we would typically greet our member and so then he came inside and I was and you were still in here I was in here still and um he didn't Nick didn't say anything I'm like oh well who you know I'm thinking who is it and sure at this point I saw Nick backing up and I'm like well why are you backing up and then I saw the guy's gun so I came in here and I pressed the alarm okay and that's the button there on the we both pressed it cuz I pressed it he he even asked he was like and after he said that before I opened the pH I pressed it Bank staff described the entire incident providing everything they remember about the robbery and the suspect okay okay so he kind of backs you up over here you said he started over at the he he he was right here and then he ended up going over there and he stood there for a while and then realized I was hesitating and stuff and cuz you were behind the counter at that point yeah and then he came I saw I saw him there did he ever see you no he never s me or least I don't think so he follow me to the back where the Vault was okay what did he do we know how much money he took did he take any everything that was in the vault today or at least what was left of what was in I just took some ones I don't think buy anything out the Vault just 51s um so he probably took what he didn't take the change he prob yeah that's heav not taking that he won's coins anymore right yeah he probably took like1 18,000 okay no who is that it's the police officer okay give me just a second here okay only two employees um they were in here uh they heard somebody come through the first door that he said they said usually they would either Buzz him in or greet him at the door he goes to the door opens the door the guy immediately brandishes the gun is that right um she was in there he never knew that to the Vault got about 18,000 in cash out of the Vault cameras working yeah yeah we haven't got to even looking at the cameras yet um do we have somebody coming to process or I'm sure investigations on the way dict let's get the initial info if we can get Camas yeah they said once he left they don't know which way he went so yeah the cameras should show because that camera and thank God we just got our new cameras but this camera that's out here will show all the way to that fence perect and across our and you guys have cameras out here at the outside the drive okay so we should be if he went either way there we should be able to see 20 years ago oh yeah okay awesome small world small world meanwhile officers work together to reconstruct exactly what happened no who was that uh this one already detected or investigation surgeons I need to a couple of things I need to get so they sounds like they got pretty good cameras he's got to get access to them cameras would go out cameras go out this way um sounds like this guy they were these two she's branch manager only two employees here branch manager he's one of the clerks um they were in this room in here said they heard that door open just like you can come through there and then she said either they would Buzz him in or they'll greet him at the door if they remember he came to the door opened the door the guy me immediately brandishes a gun comes in kind of backs him this way guy goes to that window over there he goes around back when he notices that Nicholas here is hesitating he follows him around back there goes to the safe ends up getting all the cash out of the safe about 18,000 but the suspect isn't done just days later he robs another bank this time stealing $26,000 [ __ ] check over here oh sorry was I seen Tina go by with her dog was anybody with her she was somebody okay so she had somebody trailing her okay want to make sure make sure that that would there have been been any marked or bait money amongst that probably not no have any okay I'm trying to I'm on the phone with um it guy okay um because he doesn't necessarily know how to access our system here but they can see it there so he's going to he's reviewing it he's going to email me some stuff like okay what he doesn't know is that cameras have already caught his face outfit and car his license plate is traced giving police a solid lead he probably plucked probably what I'm guessing like they always do is they cut through this parking lot they jump this back fence and they're into the subdivision straight west yeah and they either get in a car or they're on foot did he get anything before that wall yeah I mean he pulled me to the corner so you going to run this side of the fence I'm going to check up this side and then I'll probably check the other into the subdivision enough to SA know har should still be in the area of 60 East University he is in a green Cadillac wearing a white shirt that would kind of make sense maybe they pared walked around Des came this way you know and then retreated back and got the car nothing there's literally nothing over here no and you could hang out here and nobody would even know nobody ever know thing is is like these back Lots [ __ ] any of these back the only good thing was during Co the banks did the bank robbers did go down none of them were allowing people into the businesses so they're starting to pick back up um they could looking for they couldn't access it earlier yeah she's got somebody remotely doing it right now oh so I got you I thought you guys all seen it no that's what we've been waiting on watching yeah like is the egg ever going to have have you seen him come up yet there he is right there the employee called in at 1435 143 oh so we did come through the back of that parking lot 230 supicious at all authorities Act Fast securing a search warrant for his home okay thought you were going to run over me don't run in there though okay I don't this isn't even huh okay step back then thank you I didn't see I didn't hear you I'm sorry Champagne Police search warrant please bar search warrant please search warrant search gosh I thought I was going run over for a second Jesus Christ you got this all the next day after 2 hours of searching officers spot the suspect casually driving around as if nothing happened inside home and vehicle they discover more evidence linking him to the robbery yeah hear it see find one huh found a stud found one I don't know what clothing I thought so we've got some sweatshirts and stuff I got a black Nike sweatshirt but I don't know that that's black hooded like black sorry grips like looking gloves maybe is it black Swit shirt both times or is there we have those gloves I don't know definitely a black and jodies let me look see oops there's a pretty legitimate looking check area near the raiv track Bradley for a couple alarm so the the high feel the high grip yeah High Flex gloves like that there we go several of them dis yeah supposedly he's been he's had this leak for a long time he was just really they find the exact hoodie shoes and backpacks seen in both heists matching the footage perfectly so you got shoes Steve it match I got the boots the sneakers cuz there's yeah there's another pair in the trunk as well they I don't know I think these may be it I look at Jody okay yet despite the overwhelming evidence he refuses to admit anything so it's not random with me and I are here having this conversation right so technology being what it is these days is what L me you asked be honest with what's the technology video cameras are everywhere so okay so here here's what I believe here's why you're in it is my belief that you robbed the credit union on South mtis on Tuesday and why hold on and it is also my belief that last month you robbed Midland State's Bank on what field okay I okay were you aware of either one of those bank robberies I I know yeah here's I don't watch the news like I literally have no local channels and I don't the news just because I I don't I don't have live so in the robbery from Tuesday your vehicle was seen the person who robbed the bank was soon getting into your vehicle and driving away is there anybody else that drives your vehicle why nobody else this this is mine was all right was anybody driving at Tuesday I go to work I go over Tuesday okay what time did you work on Tuesday I okay well this happened in the afternoon so were you driving your car in the afternoon I probably here okay were you driving your car Tuesday afternoon I'm sure okay I'm sure you were too but what does that have to do I mean this protest fall on deaf ears doing nothing to change his fate has there anybody else that drived your car on a regular Bas Street's still short as far as you know did you hear I didn't Rob short getting pton back will help a little bit but they're still short somebody to get called on Me on the street yes but we're running below minimums already um I don't think we'd be I don't think we'd be below minimum without them okay I thought I thought Massie said they were seven with well I think it' be six missing those three to be n this at five but does he have enough sleep cuz he was so he's do you remember we had this conversation last time too and and I asked you said problem so are you now saying I don't know if we can work on maybe trying to get somebody in early at 10 yeah you're saying that somebody my car was wake up or call people com on Monday which is quite Tuesday Wednesday Thursday I mean well I mean yeah the good thing is is is a lot of younger people those cars you know being a Friday night do you I'm sure you would leave at did you my T well I don't think you going get people to come in at five if they have a choice between five and eight understand we have Li PL readers of course and they also want to get rotated on the list okay so you ran my tag from be perfect I ran your tags nice to set the rules and everybody knows what's the question that you're asking me so here's the thing as many of these cars as out here it brought you with me yes it did okay so just would you be surprised to learn that just because you take your license plates off of your car before you go and commit a crime that we still can't figure out who it is what do you mean take my license plates off for what what do you mean I you absolutely did you won 100% take your license plates off drove up from your sister or your brother's house you wouldn't robbed the bank and you drove direct L back to the house in that moment reality sinks in police don't need a confession when the evidence speaks for itself think you say so I 100% say so I'm just trying to give you an opportunity to get in front of it so you can get a better plea deal down the road if you say so that's what you said that is what I said I'm sure you got all the evidence that you need to point me with no real way out the suspect takes a plea deal and is sentenced to 14 years in prison this isn't his first time getting caught he has a history of bank robberies including a double heist in 2015 looks like their getaway wasn't as smooth as they planned another Case Closed another lesson learned the hard way drop your thoughts in the comments
