The Washoe County Sheriff's Office has announced they arrested a man who they believe was responsible for the Incline Village robbery of Wells Fargo Bank Friday.

Greg Bauer Roberts, 48, was booked into the Washoe County Jail where he is still being held as of Saturday morning. Bail has not been set.

Original story:

The Incline Village branch of Wells Fargo Bank was robbed of an undisclosed amount of cash at 10:09 a.m. Friday morning, August 24, 2018.

Deputies from the Washoe County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of a robbery in progress. Upon arrival the suspect had already fled.

The Sheriff's Office and FBI are investigating and attempting to locate the suspect. They have released two photos of him, but very little information is currently available. If the suspect used a gun or fled in a vehicle has not been released.
