A man suspected to be behind a recent string of downtown Raleigh bank robberies has been arrested, Raleigh police said Wednesday.
Police identified Anthony Tony Thomas, 41, as a suspect and arrested him Tuesday, according to a news release.
Thomas, of Creedmoor, was charged with three counts of common law robbery.
He’s accused of three robberies in a span of five days.
▪ M&F Bank on 13 E. Hargett St. was robbed twice — first on March 30 and again on April 3, police said. Police were told a man came into the bank and demanded money through a note, then fled after receiving money from a teller.
