Man Suspected In String Of Denver Bank Robberies Arrested

DENVER (AP) - Authorities have arrested a man suspected of robbing five banks in and around Denver by writing demand notes on the backs of other people's old checks.

The FBI says the Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force arrested 34-year-old Ronald Hedglin-Neidhardt on Monday night, and investigators are still looking for a person who allegedly drove him during the robberies.

Hedglin-Neidhardt is accused of robbing five banks in Denver, Lakewood and Littleton since Feb. 24. The FBI says he did not show a weapon but wrote notes threatening to harm the bank tellers if they didn't hand over the money.

Booking documents do not indicate if Hedglin-Neidhardt has hired an attorney.
