ATLANTA—Special Agent in Charge (SAC)
Brian D. Lamkin, along with Gwinnett County Police Chief Charles M. Walters,
announces the following arrests today subsequent to an armed takeover style
bank robbery earlier today at Duluth, Georgia:
On Tuesday, May 15, 2012, at
approximately 11:15 a.m., two black males entered the Wells Fargo Bank located
at 3072 Old Norcross Road in Duluth, Georgia, wearing masks and brandishing at
least one semi-auto handgun. The robbers, having obtained an undisclosed amount
of money, were observed departing the bank in a maroon colored Honda Accord and
fleeing southbound on Interstate 85.
Responding units from the Gwinnett
County Police Department began pursuit of the getaway vehicle, which exited
I-85 at Pleasantdale Road. Upon exiting, the robbers crashed into several
vehicles located at an intersection near a Quicktrip gas station. The robbers
abandoned their vehicle and fled on foot.
Arrested without further incident
shortly thereafter were Anwand R. Jackson, age 34, of Norcross, Georgia; and
Herbert Hector, age 36, of Atlanta, Georgia.
Both individuals are being held and
processed on federal charges related to armed bank robbery. They will be
afforded an initial appearance in front of a U.S. magistrate judge at the
Richard B. Russell Federal Courthouse in Atlanta, Georgia on Wednesday, May 16,
2012.
The public is reminded that the above
are merely allegations and that all persons are to be presumed innocent until
proven guilty in a court of law.
