FBI CAPTURE SERIAL BANK ROBBER

AMHERST & SHEFFIELD VILLAGE POLICE

INSTRUMENTAL IN CAPTURE

The serial bank robber who hit two local banks in Lorain County along with 9 others in Ohio and Pennsylvania was captured Monday after he knocked off a National City Bank in Cleveland.

FBI Agents had already deemed 33-year-old Kenneth Gibson a suspect and had taken out an arrest warrant before Monday’s bank robbery.

Gibson was arrested several miles away after a witness to Monday’s robbery led Cleveland Police to Gibson’s car. He will be charged with one Federal count of Bank Robbery for Monday’s heist and will likely be charged with the others after a review by the United States Attorney’s Office.

The FBI credit the meticulous Detective work by Sheffield Village and Amherst Police Departments in the capture of Gibson. Because of the work done by local Detectives the FBI had a suspect car and eventually a suspect that they had begun searching for when Gibson walked into the Cleveland bank.

Gibson is suspected of robbing a total of 12 banks.
