Officers heard a man enter the bank and deliver a handwritten demand note. Police said he fled the bank on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash and got a ride from an uninvolved citizen.

Then, on Monday, at 4:27 p.m., police officers responded to TD Bank, located at 710 Old York Road, for the report of another robbery.

According to police, a man entered the bank and presented another handwritten demand note. After obtaining an undisclosed amount of money, the suspect fled on foot and requested a ride from another uninvolved citizen.

Officers from Abington, Jenkintown and Cheltenham Townships searched the area and located the suspect a short distance from the bank. Officers were able to recover all the money taken during the second robbery.

Police said officers then collected evidence linking Wilson to both robberies. Wilson was arraigned and is being held at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility on $50,077 bail.
