This footage shows the moment officers from the Atlanta Police Department track down and arrest a bank robbery suspect shortly after he allegedly held up a bank clerk for cash.

The bank robbery took place at a Wells Fargo bank located ” at 2841 Greenbriar Pkwy SW”, in Atlanta, Georgia, in the United States, according to the Atlanta Police Department, who eventually arrested a suspect shortly afterwards, who has been named as a 21-year-old black man called Jabrell Harvey.

They responded to a silent alarm that was triggered at the bank, the police said in a statement. Upon arriving, the officers, who have not been named, found out that “an adult male suspect had entered the bank and passed a note demanding money to the teller.”

The bank worker, who has not been named, complied with the demand and handed over “an undisclosed amount of cash”.

Footage of the incident released by Atlanta police shows an officer getting out of a police vehicle and pointing his gun at a young black man wearing a red T-shirt. The officer can be heard ordering the suspect to raise his hands and not to move. The suspect can be seen complying with the officer’s request.

Then, a second police vehicle comes to a stop to the left of the first officer, in the middle of the road.

The police officer approaches the suspect while ordering him to keep his hands up.

The suspect can then be seen putting his hands behind his head and getting to his knees.

The police officer then puts the suspect’s hands behind his back and handcuffs him. The officer explains to the suspect that he is only being detained and not being arrested.

He also calmly explained that he will let the suspect know what they are doing. They can also be heard saying: “I appreciate your cooperation.”

The officer then explains to the suspect that they have been tracking a suspected bank robber and that he appears to match their description.

The footage then ends, with the police department reporting that they then found the money from the robbery inside the young man’s backpack.

The police statement says: “Officers searching the area quickly tracked the suspect (later identified as 21-year-old Jabrell Harvey) to the area of 3260 Continental Colony, where he was taken into custody without incident.

“The stolen money was also recovered from Mr Harvey’s possession.

“The Atlanta Police Department is appreciative of the efforts of Zone 4 officers for their quick work in apprehending Mr Harvey.

“The clear communication, calm disposition and professional demeanor of the officers involved in this arrest is noteworthy. We are proud of the work our officers do daily, most of which never makes the news. Job well done Zone 4!”

The suspect has been remanded in custody, although it is unclear if he had been formally charged at the time of writing. It is also unclear how much jail time he faces.
