BUFFALO, NY-Technology played a role in helping Buffalo Police nab a suspected bank robber Friday afternoon.
They say a woman, believed to be in her mid-20's, handed a teller at the Bank of America on East Delavan a demand note shortly after 1 PM.
The bag the teller handed over contained not only an undisclosed amount of cash, but a GPS tracking device as well.
The device helped police track down the suspect within minutes not far from the bank.
Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown will be addressing the arrest at a late afternoon news conference in his City Hall office. Stay tuned to wgrz.com and Channel 2 news for the latest on this developing story.
