Akron Police detectives are looking for a man they say tried to rob the KeyBank on South Main Street in Akron Friday afternoon.
According to the report, the suspect (pictured) walked in demanding money from a deller. When the teller did not comply with the suspect's demands, he reportedly tried to grab cash from a customer inside the bank. His second attempt at robbery was unsuccessful. Before fleeing the scene, witnesses say the man threatened to kill everyone inside the bank.
Anyone with information is asked to call Akron Police.
Tuesday afternoon a man walked into the PNC Bank at 181 Massillon Road, armed with a knife, demanding money. He jumped the counter and proceeded down the line of tellers, taking money from each of the cash drawers and stuffing it into a backpack he was wearing on his chest.
After the robbery, the suspect got into a black Chevy Malibu and drove away from the bank.
Not too long after the robbery, Akron Police Officers spotted the Malibu pulling into a parking lot in the 500 block of Sherman Street. That's when they arrested 22-year-old Darrion L. Powers (pictured) of Akron, who is now charged with armed robbery and more.
Addiitonally, Police Detectives charged Powers in connection to the January 4th robbery of the Huntington Bank on South Arlington Street. Both robberies played out the same.
Powers has been booked in the Summit County Jail, and according to Akron Police Lt. Rick Edwards' press release, he's likely responsible for several other robberies in Cuyahoga Falls. So far he's charged with two counts of aggravated robbery.
Update: Akron Police have identified the suspected robber of the Fifth Third Bank along South Canton Road as 55-year-old Gary R. Neal of Pocantico Avenue in Akron.
