Rogersville Police, along with the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office and the FBI have made an arrest in two recent crimes. One was a burglary at Easy Money Pawn Shop in Rogersville and the other was an armed robbery at Greenhill First Metro Bank.
Rogersville Police Chief Terry Holden says the three law enforcement agencies arrested Anthony Cruz Collins, 18, early Friday morning during a traffic stop. More arrests are expected.
The burglary at Easy Money Pawn Shop happened November 25. Rogersville Police say two men were caught on camera stealing 13 guns, including several high-powered rifles.
Then, on November 29, two masked gunmen were caught on video robbing Greenhill First Metro Bank. They fired shots inside the bank, but no one was hurt.
Detectives studied surveillance video from both the pawn shop and bank because the weapons used during the bank holdup appear to resemble the guns stolen from the pawn shop.
Rogersville Police say Collins is charged with first-degree theft of property and third-degree criminal mischief in the pawn shop burglary. WHNT News 19 is working to get information about additional charges for the bank robbery.
Police are seeking a second person, a juvenile, for the two crimes.
A third person, Branden Scott Bowser, was arrested for allegedly driving the getaway car in the bank robbery. Bowser is charged with robbery. Police say he was not involved in the pawn shop burglary.
