Raleigh and Durham police have arrested a man they believe is responsible for a series of bank robberies, including one Oct. 4 at the BB&T branch on Rosemary Street in downtown Chapel Hill.
Lee Bennett Pope III, 37, was arrested on an outstanding warrant in Durham this week and transferred to Raleigh police. He was charged with seven counts of common-law robbery and is being held in Wake County on slightly more than $1 million bond.
