CHARLOTTE, NC — Police have arrested the fourth suspect wanted in connection to a bank robbery in Lumberton last week.
CMPD’s SWAT team arrested Demetrius ‘Boo Boo’ Robinson around 12:30pm on Clairemore Place. Robinson was one of four suspects wanted in connection to a robbery at the PNC Bank in Lumberton on January 23rd.
