Investigators confirmed the getaway vehicle had been stolen from a nearby residence earlier that morning and found it unoccupied shortly after the robbery.

While patrolling the area, officers found a man matching the description of one of the suspects at a bus stop. He had a shotgun.

“Police identified him as 41-year-old Brandon Michael Felix, who at the time, was bound two different lifetime firearms prohibitions,” Cpl. Jennifer Cooper said in a Tuesday news release.
