A Forest Park man has been arrested for allegedly robbing several banks throughout metro Atlanta.
MacKenzie Nathaniel Brunson, 27, has been accused of robbing Fifth Third banks in Atlanta, Lake City and Conyers along with Cobb and DeKalb counties, according to Smyrna police.
The department said in a news release that Brunson was arrested by Conyers police on Nov. 9 after Atlanta police received an anonymous tip from Crime Stoppers the day before.
