Bank customer captures alleged bank robber Atlanta

Cobb County police say a man robbed the Wells Fargo bank on Due West Road, but one customer wasn't willing to let him get away with it.

Police say 25-year-old Mark Katchem walked into the bank, and slipped a note to the teller demanding money. A customer, who was inside, noticed what was going on, followed the alleged crook out the door, then ran to his car and grabbed his gun.

Police say the customer ordered Katchem to the ground and held him there at gunpoint until police arrived. Nick Daley was driving by and took a photo of what was happening.

Daley says “I immediately knew by the way the man was standing, his stance, he was in control of the situation.”

When police arrived, they arrested Katchem and charged him with robbery by intimidation. Charise Debarros lives near the bank. She applauds the bank customer for taking charge of the situation.

“It's wonderful that someone is willing to take action and show the bad people out there, you can't do this and we're going to stand up for what's ours” says Debarros
