[ARCHIVED] East Lansing Bank Robbery Suspect Arrested by ELPD

EAST LANSING, Mich. — At approximately 11:40 a.m. today, June 10, the East Lansing Police Department (ELPD) responded to a reported bank robbery at the Flagstar Bank, located in the 1400 block of E. Lake Lansing Road.

During the robbery, a male suspect indicated that he had a weapon and demanded cash. After obtaining an undisclosed amount of money, he left the bank. There were no injuries to anyone at the bank.

The 911 caller provided a description of the suspect, including that he had bandages on his face in an attempt to disguise his appearance, and his last known direction of travel.
