SPOKANE, Wash. — The Spokane Police Department's (SPD) Major Crimes Unit arrested a man Friday who they believe is linked to a South Hill bank robbery.

54-year-old David E. Allen was arrested at his home in Deer Park on Friday morning and taken to the Spokane County Jail.

SPD responded to a bank robbery in the 3100 block of S. Grand Avenue on the night of Jan. 3. The male suspect reportedly entered the bank and indicated a robbery, but did not display a weapon. He left on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. 

SPD surrounded the area and ran a K9 track, but were unable to locate the suspect. 

After asking for the public's help in identifying the suspect, the SPD SWAT Team and Major Crimes Unit arrested Allen on Friday. He is charged with first-degree robbery and is in custody at the Spokane County Jail.
