TAMPA, Fla. — After weeks of searching, police say they have found the person responsible for robbing two banks in the Tampa Bay area.
Tampa police say 46-year-old Roger Salik has been charged with robbing the TD Bank located at 2307 W. Kennedy Blvd. on Oct. 30.
Salik was stopped by Daytona Beach Police officers on Nov. 5 and arrested. Tampa Police detectives went to Volusia County and interviewed Salik, who admitted to robbing the bank, according to law enforcement.

He is still being held in the Volusia County Jail.
