A 30-year-old woman who robbed a Dunwoody bank was arrested moments after the robbery Friday, police said.

The suspect, Chantel Calloway of Chamblee, entered Regions Bank on Mt. Vernon Road at 11:30 a.m. and handed the teller a note demanding cash, police said. She was wearing a baseball hat and a wig, police said.

After leaving the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash, Calloway was spotted by an officer responding to the scene, police said. He detained Calloway, who no longer had the hat or wig, and took her back to the bank where a teller identified her, police said.

A K-9 unit helped police find Calloway's disguise nearby, police said.
