TULSA, Okla. — The Tulsa Police Department arrested a man for attempting to rob two downtown banks on May 16.
The man allegedly went into the TTCU Federal Credit Union at 501 S. Boston wearing all black and a mask and tried to rob the bank.
He then went to the IBC Bank at 1 E. 5th St. and tried to rob that bank as well. Police said nothing was stolen from either bank.
Haylee Lewis said she was picking up lunch at Jack's Coney Island when she saw the suspect run by. "We just kinda stood there and watched it happen," explained Lewis. "Then, after we came out, we saw all these cops everywhere."
Lieutenant Justin Ritter with TPD said no bank employees were injured. "I'm sure they're a little bit shaken up, but they helped us," he said. "They gave us good descriptions. They've done a good job of providing all the information we need."
Officers were told the man had a gun, although one hasn't been found yet.
The man fled the scene, but police arrested him shortly after at the Denver Avenue MetroLink Station.
