Syntedrick Brown (Austin Police Department)<\/p>\n
AUSTIN, Texas – A Round Rock<\/a> man is now in federal custody for allegedly robbing a bank in Northwest Austin<\/a> last week.<\/p>\n 42-year-old Syntedrick Brown is facing one count of bank robbery and, if convicted, could get up to 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n PREVIOUS COVERAGE: APD asking for help identifying suspect in NW Austin bank robbery<\/a><\/p>\n What we know:<\/p>\n Brown is accused of robbing the Austin Telco Federal Credit Union on Jollyville Road.<\/p>\n The Austin Police Department says that the robbery took place just after 10 a.m. on Jan. 28.<\/p>\n Court documents say that Brown allegedly entered the bank wearing a brown wig with a brightly colored headband, red reflective sunglasses, a black mask, a dark-hooded sweatshirt and a reflective yellow safety vest.<\/p>\n \u00a0 (Austin Police Department)<\/p>\n Brown then reportedly climbed over the teller counter holding what appeared to be a semi-automatic pistol and told employees to lie on the floor and not look at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n Docs say he also instructed employees to move to a back room and directed the bank manager to remove money from a cash machine, stuffing it in a trash bag and asking if it included any “funny money” or contained any “trackers.”<\/p>\n Brown then instructed employees to go into a bathroom and not to leave, says the US Attorney’s Office. Surveillance images captured Brown leaving the bank at around 10:16 a.m. then driving away in a vehicle that was later determined to be stolen.<\/p>\n Brown allegedly got away with about $113,000.<\/p>\n An FBI search warrant served on Feb. 2 uncovered evidence connected to the robbery, including the wig\/headband, reflective sunglasses, a hard black mask and a hooded sweatshirt similar to the one seen in the surveillance images.\u00a0<\/p>\n APD says that the warrant also led to the recovery of a large portion of the cash stolen during the robbery.<\/p>\n The Source: Information in this report comes from the Austin Police Department and the US Attorney’s Office<\/p>\n Crime and Public Safety<\/a>Northwest Austin<\/a>Round Rock<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"article Syntedrick Brown (Austin Police Department) AUSTIN, Texas – A Round Rock man is now in federal custody…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":149340,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133,1046,223,7485,6240,394,216,393,2538],"class_list":{"0":"post-149339","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-austin","8":"tag-austin","9":"tag-austin-headlines","10":"tag-austin-news","11":"tag-crime-publicsafety","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-northwest-austin","14":"tag-round-rock","15":"tag-travis-county","16":"tag-tx","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-williamson-county"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149339","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=149339"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149339\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/149340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=149339"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=149339"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=149339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
