(WWJ) A Flint man is behind bars in Oakland County, after police say he robbed a bank in Troy this week.
Jacquan Burks-Burnett, 32, has been charged in connection with a robbery of the Fifth Third Bank branch on Big Beaver Road on Tuesday, Oct. 21.
Prosecutors said Burks-Burnett wore a face mask, gloves and yellow glasses when he walked into the bank at around 4:15 p.m., and demanded money from two tellers.
Witnesses said the robber then walked to the Somerset mall parking lot where he left his vehicle.
Police said Flock camera footage was then used to identify the vehicle and locate the suspect. He was arrested in Flint within four hours of the robbery with help from the Flint Police Department, Genesee County Sheriff’s Office, and Michigan State Police.
“Bank robberies are traumatizing and dangerous experiences for both tellers and customers,” said Oakland County Prosecutor McDonald, in a statement. “Law enforcement worked quickly to locate this defendant and he will be held accountable.”
Burks-Burnett's bond was set at $50,000 at his arraignment in 52-4 District Court on Thursday.
He faces up to life in prison if convicted as charged.
