POLICE CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR A SUSPECT RELATED TO A BANK ROBBERY EARLIER THIS WEEK. ON CHRISTMAS EVE, POLICE WERE CALLED TO A BANK ROBBERY ON EAST PIKES PEAK AVENUE. OFFICIALS SAY A MAN ENTERED THE BANK, GAVE A TELLER A NOTE AND THEN RAN FROM THE SCENE WITH AN UNDISCLOSED AMOUNT OF MONEY. WHILE INVESTIGATING THE SCENE THEY SPOTTED A PERSON WHO MATCHED THE SUSPECTS DESCRIPTION AND RAN AFTER HIM. DURING THE CHASE THE MAN WAS SPRAYED WITH PEPPER SPRAY. AFTER USING A TASER TO TAKE THE MAN DOWN, POLICE REALIZED HE WASN’T RELATED TO THE BANK ROBBERY BUT HAD ACTIVE FELONY WARRANTS AND TOOK HIM INTO CUSTODY. AT THIS TIME THE ROBBERY SUSPECT HAS NOT BEEN ARRESTED, BUT POLICE SAY THEY RECOVERED A CAR RELATED TO THE INCIDENT.
