Martinez Bank Robbery Suspect Nabbed At Nearby Burger King

MARTINEZ (CBS SF) -- A man police suspect of holding up a West America Bank branch in Martinez was arrested a short distance from the alleged crime scene Thursday afternoon, according to police.

At 12:21 p.m., police responded to a call about a robbery at the bank, located at 590 Center Ave., during which the suspect presented a note to a bank employee demanding money.
