A suspect armed with an AR-style rifle was arrested on I-17 after robbing a Phoenix Chase Bank. Police used a grappler to stop the suspect's box truck.
A man armed with an AR-style rifle was taken into custody Monday afternoon following a robbery at a Chase Bank branch in Phoenix and a subsequent pursuit on Interstate 17 [2]. The suspect entered the bank located at 27th Street and Camelback Road at approximately 12:30 p.m. and fired a single shot into the ceiling before fleeing with an undisclosed amount of cash [2].
No injuries were reported during the incident inside the bank [2]. The suspect escaped the scene in a small box truck, triggering a police pursuit that lasted until federal agents and Phoenix police caught up with the vehicle on the highway [2].
Approximately 15 minutes north of Anthem, a Phoenix police officer used a "grappler" device to disable the truck and bring the chase to an end [2]. While the suspect was successfully apprehended, authorities have not yet released his name or provided further details regarding his identity [2].
The use of the grappler—a specialized tool designed to snag a fleeing vehicle's rear tire—highlights the tactical measures law enforcement increasingly employs to end high-speed pursuits safely. With the suspect now in custody, the investigation shifts to the FBI to determine the circumstances behind the armed robbery and the suspect's motives.
