SHREWSBURY, Pa. (AP) — Police say a central Pennsylvania bank robber was tracked down using a dye-stained loan statement found along with the dumped cash.
Southern Regional Police say Luis Rafael Cruz turned himself in Friday after investigators contacted his girlfriend regarding the robbery of a Sovereign Bank a day earlier in Shrewsbury, York County.
Investigators say Cruz made it out of the bank with more than $15,000 cash but a dye pack in with the money exploded, prompting him to drop it in the parking lot. Police say they found a loan statement in Cruz's name along with the loot.
A bank teller matched Cruz's photo with the robber.
Cruz faces robbery and other felony counts and is being held on $250,000 bail. It's not clear if he has an attorney.
