Bank robbers have no chance in Tulsa

TULSA — KRMG has previously told you about the high arrest rates the Tulsa Police Department has had the last couple of years with homicides.

Now comes word TPD is doing well with bank robbery cases as well. The recent arrest of Timothy Hayes for a November Bank of America robbery, gives the department a 100% solve rate for the crime in the past two years.

“Don’t rob banks because you’re going to get caught,” one detective confessed.

Investigators credit teamwork, the ability to work with other agencies, and the banks themselves as big contributors to their success rate.

For reference, if you get convicted for a bank robbery, it means time in federal prison.
