Police arrest final suspect in Boise armed robbery case after he is recognized bicycling
Boise police announced Thursday that they have arrested the final suspect in an armed robbery case.
On Feb. 27, a man “brandished a handgun” while robbing a bank in the 700 block of East Parkcenter Boulevard, the Boise Police Department said in a news release.
The suspect fled the scene on a motorcycle with another individual, according to police.
“Shortly before the robbery took place, Boise Police responded to a false 911 call reporting an active shooter at a business on the 10400 block of W. Fairview Ave,” police said in a news release.
Law enforcement identified the caller, who allegedly knew the bank robbers and “was an accomplice,” the Idaho Statesman previously reported.
Officers arrested one of the men allegedly involved in the robbery and the woman who is suspected of making the phone call on Feb. 28, the day after the incident. They were initially unable to find the second robbery suspect, who had been identified as a 50-year-old Boise man.
Someone called Ada County Dispatch at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday to report that the suspect was riding a bike near West Fairview Avenue and North Allumbaugh Street. Police came to the area and arrested him, and he was booked into the Ada County Jail on a felony robbery charge.
