Decatur First Bank’s Kroger Branch Robbed, Suspects Already in Custody
Decatur Metro | January 19, 2010Dave Kell tweeted earlier that the Decatur First Bank branch at the “lil’ Kroger” on Commerce Drive had been robbed around 5p this evening.
Deputy Chief Keith Lee was quick to respond to my inquiry with details and news that the perps have already been arrested.
We were notified of an armed robbery of the Decatur First Bank branch at Kroger this afternoon. Two suspects were stopped a few minutes later on Church Street. Evidence recovered during the stop established probable cause the two suspects were involved in the robbery. Both suspects are in custody at this time and the investigation is continuing.
Hats-off to DPD!!!
