A man wanted in connection with the armed robbery of a Fayetteville bank last June has been arrested on similar charges in West Point, Mississippi.

Fayetteville police said Titus Jeshua Lamb, 24, of Atlanta was identified as the suspect in the June 4 incident at the Bank of North Georgia on Burch Road.

Evidence obtained by Mississippi detectives helped lead to the Georgia charges. Lamb, who is also a suspect in robberies in Morrow and McDonough, will be transferred to Fayette County to face the charges.

A second suspect involved in the Fayetteville robbery has not been identified.
