A bank robbery suspect was taken into custody yesterday afternoon in Sheffield Lake, according to the FBI.

FBI spokesman Scott Wilson said a 38-year-old white male was arrested yesterday at the Erie Shores Landing apartment complex on Lake Road on an unrelated parole violation through the Ohio Adult Parole Authority. Sheriff’s Capt. John Reiber ID’d the man as Robert Starnes of Sheffield Lake.

Wilson wouldn’t say specifically if the man is a suspect in Wednesday’s robbery of the Chase bank branch in Sheffield Lake.

“We’re trying to piece this together,” Wilson said. “We believe we have the individual for at least one of three bank robberies we’re investigating.”

Those three robberies include the June 28 holdup of a Lorain National Bank branch in Sheffield Township, the July 14 holdup of an Amherst FirstMerit bank and Wednesday’s holdup in Sheffield Lake.

Wilson said he expects Starnes will be charged early next week.

Wilson said Starnes was arrested based on tips from people who saw the surveillance photos in media coverage, adding the FBI had received “quite a few tips.”
