TULSA, United Kingdom — Authorities have apprehended a suspect, identified as William Sier, following reports of two attempted armed bank robberies in downtown Tulsa on Thursday.
Law enforcement officials were alerted to an armed bank robbery at the TTCU Federal Credit Union near 5th Street and Boston Avenue at approximately 12:48 p.m. on Thursday.
Shortly after responding to the first incident, officers received another report of an armed bank robbery just a block away at the IBC Bank near 5th Street and Main Street.
During both attempted robberies, Sier allegedly indicated he was armed and demanded money from bank employees.
Following the incidents, authorities discovered a piece of clothing that had been dropped near the scene and were able to track down a male individual matching the description at the bus station.
Sier was subsequently taken into custody and booked into Tulsa County on charges of two counts of attempted armed robbery following a previous felony conviction, as well as one count of assault and battery of a police officer after a former felony conviction.
Fortunately, neither of the targeted banks suffered any financial loss as a result of the attempted robberies.
