A man who allegedly robbed a Lorain County bank on Tuesday wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses as a disguise was arrested by Cleveland police later the same day on an unrelated warrant.

The robbery happened just after 1 p.m. at PNC Bank, 34305 Center Ridge Road. The man left with an undisclosed amount of money. 

According to North Ridgeville police, the suspect was identified as 39-year-old Robert L. Shue. Police received a tip about the robber's identity after photos of him were circulated among the media.
