A 27-year-old man from Warren, Maine was arrested Thursday in Lakewood, New Jersey after a crash at the busy intersection of Clifton Avenue and Main Street. Police say he’s suspected of robbing a branch of Chase Bank in Scarborough, Maine earlier this week.
The robbery reportedly happened Wednesday afternoon. Witnesses identified a maroon Chevrolet Trailblazer with out-of-state plates leaving the scene. The same vehicle later collided with another car in Lakewood, flipping onto its side and striking the sidewalk in front of a storefront.
First responders from EMS, police, and fire units arrived on the scene. Officials report no serious injuries. The driver — the robbery suspect — was taken into custody without further incident.
Authorities have not announced whether any weapon was used in the bank robbery. The suspect remains in police custody as investigators coordinate between Maine and New Jersey jurisdictions.
