Suspected serial robber arrested in Old East Dallas

A suspected serial robber was arrested Wednesday afternoon in Old East Dallas after a two-day crime spree.

Dallas police tracked down the suspect to a home in the 1300 block of Skiles Street. He’s believed to be responsible for one bank robbery on Tuesday and three bank robberies on Wednesday.

SWAT team helped Dallas police arrest the suspect. He came out of the home peacefully and was arrested without incident.

Police say tips from witnesses at the banks led them to the Old East Dallas home.
