Suspect in Bloody Bank Robbery Is Caught
The remaining suspect in a bloody bank robbery near the Princeton University campus was captured while eating at a restaurant in New York City, and a gym bag containing a large amount of cash was later recovered, the FBI said Wednesday.
Sandy Casiano, 25, of Trenton, N.J., was arrested Tuesday night, FBI agent Ann Todd said.
Robert J. Cordier, assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s New Jersey office, said Casiano had been staying at an apartment in Brooklyn, where the bag of cash was found.
Cordier said Casiano had cut and dyed his hair reddish-orange. He said authorities now believe that they have accounted for everyone involved in the $164,000 holdup.
The arrest came less than two weeks after the Nov. 6 robbery that left one armed robber dead at the Sovereign Bank and two suspects at large.
A former teller, Harold Davila, 21, of Trenton, was arrested Nov. 10, and authorities said he admitted plotting the holdup and taking part.
