The Pittsburg Police Department announced they arrested a teen in connection with a bank robbery Monday. Upon arrest, the teen admitted he watched a YouTube video on how to rob a bank.
On March 22, Pittsburg Police responded to a “Bank Hold Up Alarm” at Mechanics Bank in Downtown Pittsburg. Officers arrived on scene and determined an armed robbery occurred.
The suspect passed a note which read that he needed, “20 grand” and that he had a bomb. The teller provided the suspect with over $7,000 in cash and then he fled on foot.
A canine trail was conducted with assistance from the Contra Costa K9 unit. The trail lead away from the bank down various city streets. The trail was concluded; however, the suspect remained outstanding.
Officers reviewed video footage from businesses in the area near the K9 trail and located video of the suspect fleeing. He was eventually tracked down and found at a nearby residence. The stolen cash along with a bomb which was determined to be fake were recovered.
The Juvenile suspect admitted during an interview he watched a YouTube video on how to rob a bank. He was later transported to Juvenile Hall.
