On Aug. 11, two men were taken into custody by the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department (SCMPD) after a three-stop robbery spree.
At 2:16 p.m. SCMPD responded to a call reporting a robbery at the Springhill Suites at 150 Montgomery St. The victim claimed that the suspect appeared to be of Middle Eastern decent, had a gun, demanded money and fled the scene in a white vehicle.
Shortly afterward, another call reporting a robbery came from Comfort Suites at 630 W. Bay St. The victim gave the police the same description and stated the man left in a white Chevy with a camper shell and partial tag.
At 2:25 p.m., the alert tones signaled a bank robbery at First Chatham Bank at 111 Barnard St. SCMPD were already in the area looking for the white Chevy and effectively swarmed the crime zone. The pickup truck was not able to escape and the identified suspect and his driver were taken into custody.
