A 39-year-old Fullerton man was behind bars on suspicion of robbing a bank in Garden Grove.
Police were called at 1:50 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 21, to the Bank of the West branch at 12976 Main St., police said.
The robber walked up to a teller, demanded money and ran off with about $500, police said.
Police caught up with the suspect, Justin Kearney Troy of Fullerton, on foot about a mile west of the bank, police said.
When officers ordered him to stop he kept going “with his hands in his pockets,” but a police dog helped take him into custody and the cash was recovered, police said.
