Bank Robbery
Metro Police are investigating a bank robbery that occurred early this afternoon in the eastern Las Vegas Valley.
Officers responded to the robbery at 1:14 p.m. at the Chase Bank in the 2200 block of East Tropicana.
The robber handed a note to one of the tellers and demanded money, Metro spokesman Ramon Denby said.
Two customers at the bank noticed that a robbery was occurring and called police, Denby said. The customers got into their cars and followed the suspect until a police car could follow in pursuit, Denby said.
The suspect's vehicle hit a marked police car, went up on a curb and hit a parked car, Denby said. The crash happened near East Mesquite Avenue and North 15th Street, where he was taken into custody without incident.
The man had a felony federal warrant out for his arrest, Denby said. His name hadn't been released this afternoon.

Well done customers! That's what Americans do, had some of us forgot?
All that is needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Now lock that creep up for good.
And damn right those customers should get a reward. A big one.
