MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Milwaukee police were able to arrest a bank robbery suspect minutes after the crime occurred!

Police say an employee called MPD to provide a description of the suspect.
Responding officers located him in the 5900 block of N. 84th Street and took him into custody just minutes later.
Officers found a BMO Harris deposit slip in his sweatshirt and a construction hat and vest inside of his backpack, which according to witnesses he wore during the crime.
The suspect is a 22-year-old Milwaukee man -- a convicted felon, with a 2011 armed robbery conviction.
Milwaukee police will present this case to the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office in the coming days.
