Gwinnett County police identified and arrested the man accused of robbing a bank and then riding away on a bicycle, thanks to help from the media.
Pictures taken during the robbery were released to the media the day after the Associated Credit Union on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard was robbed. Police were called to the bank on Jan. 5 after a man demanded money from a teller, who was able to press a silent alarm.
“Give me all the money in your drawer,” the man allegedly said.
The man never mentioned a weapon and stopped the teller as she got to the $10 bills, according to police. He left the bank and rode away on a red bicycle, along with $7,430 in cash.
The suspect was identified as 37-year-old Shawn Kelley, Cpl. Michele Pihera said Wednesday.
A search warrant was executed at Kelley’s residence, where investigators found a large sum of cash, Pihera said. Kelley was arrested and charged with robbery.
Kelley was being held without bond Wednesday afternoon in the Gwinnett County jail.
