HARPER WOODS (WWJ) - A 23-year-old suspect who was tracked down to West Virginia has been arrested and charged in connection to a string of bank robberies across several Wayne County communities.
United States Attorney Dawn N. Ison said 23-year-old Glenn Pack was indicted in federal court on Thursday, February 22, on three counts of bank robbery in in connection with bank robberies in Hamtramck, Harper Woods, and Hazel Park.
Pack was tracked down by federal agents on January 25, 2024, in West Virginia, and was returned to Michigan to face charges, Ison added.
"We are grateful for the swift action by the Hamtramck, Harper Woods, and Hazel Park Police Departments in coordinating with the FBI to identify and locate the defendant," said Cheyvoryea Gibson, the Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in Michigan.
As stated in the criminal complaint, Pack is accused of robbing a PNC Bank on Joseph Campau Street in Hamtramck on December 19, 2023, a Chase Bank on Vernier Road in Harper Woods on January 2, 2024, and a PNC Bank on S. Chrysler Drive in Hazel Park on January 12, 2024.
In all three cases, agents allege that Pack pretended to be a customer before handing over a note to the tellers demanding money. Authorities then claim the 23-year-old made clear that he was robbing the bank.
Pack managed to get away with roughly $10,000, authorities said.
If convicted of bank robbery, Pack faces the maximum penalty of 20 years behind bars.
The case was a collaborative effort with assistance from the Hazel Park Police Department, the Hamtramck Police Department, and Harper Woods Department of Public Safety alongside the FBI.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah Alsaden.
"Each law enforcement partner brought a unique skill set which contributed to the successful apprehension by FBI Pittsburgh. The FBI remains committed to investigating thieves and protecting the public from this type of criminal activity," Gibson added.
