Police converged on a Norristown apartment complex Tuesday afternoon in an effort to capture a man wanted in connection with a gunpoint robbery at a Plymouth Meeting bank last week.
Plymouth Township police confirmed that officers went to the Curren Terrace Apartments, on New Hope Street near Fornance, to serve a warrant on the bank-robbery suspect. Police closed off the area and directed traffic around the scene for a short period of time while they served the warrant.
The suspect was taken in for questioning, police said, but has not been charged with the robbery.
In the June 3 heist, the armed robber walked into a Bank of America branch on Plymouth Road near Irwins Lane shortly before 4 p.m. and brandished a black handgun, the FBI said. He handed the teller a demand note and obtained an undisclosed amount of cash, and then turned as he was leaving the bank and fired a single shot toward the teller windows, according to authorities. No one was injured, and the robber fled.
