A 64-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of robbing a Covina bank on Wednesday after a GPS device included in the stolen cash led officers to him.
Officers found the suspect riding a bicycle and recovered the money, about $2,600, Covina Police Lt. Joshua Turner said.
Police were notified about the robbery at the Bank of the West just after 1 p.m. on Wednesday.
A man wearing a face mask and a baseball cap entered the bank at 770 S. Citrus Ave., approached a teller and demanded the employee empty his cash register, Turner said. A GPS device was added to the money in a bag handed over to the suspect.
Police were told the man was seen heading north on Citrus Avenue on a bicycle. Turner said officers found him in the 500 block of North Calvados Avenue.
He was booked on suspicion of robbery and held in lieu of $100,000 bail.
