Largo bank robbery suspect, accused accomplice arrested

LARGO, Fla. - Two men have been arrested in connection with a bank robbery in Largo.

According to the Largo Police Department, a man walked into the PNC Bank, located at 10751 Ulmerton Rd. last Friday, passed a note to a teller, and demanded money.

Police say while the suspect did not show a weapon, he did keep his left hand in his pocket at the time of the robbery.

Once the suspect got an undisclosed amount of money, investigators say he left on a bicycle.

Largo police investigating the crime say they found video that showed the suspect in a parking lot, just north of the bank. They also saw a pickup truck and a trailer enter the parking lot with a bike in the bed of the truck that matched the one the suspect used to ride away from the bank after the robbery.

Investigators say they were able to identify the driver of the pickup truck as 43-year-old Brian Brown and got a search warrant for his home. Inside Brown’s home, officers said they found evidence linking Brown to the robbery as well as several guns.
