GARDEN GROVE, Calif. (KNX) — A 39-year-old Fullerton man suspected of robbing a bank in Garden Grove, making off with only about $500, was behind bars Thursday.
The robbery happened Tuesday just before 2 p.m. when police were called to the Bank of the West branch at 12976 Main St.
Police said the robber walked up to a teller and demanded money before running off with about $500.
Police caught up with a suspect on foot, identified as Justin Kearney Troy, about a mile away from the bank, police said.
When officers ordered him to stop, he kept going “with his hands in his pockets,” according to City News Service.
Officers used a police dog to help take Troy into custody and recover the money, police said.
Troy was taken to a hospital for treatment for injuries sustained during his arrest, according to KTLA. Once out of the hospital, he was booked into the Orange County Jail on suspicion of robbery.
