A Pittsburgh man has been charged in connection with a May 16 bank robbery in Reserve, according to Allegheny County Police.

Detectives had been investigating a robbery at Dollar Bank on Mount Troy Road. Through multiple surveillance videos, images of the suspect fleeing the bank and witness interviews, police were able to identify the suspect as Mark A. Laughner, 38.

On Friday, police located Laughner on Spring Garden Avenue, where he fled into a wooded area and was taken into custody a short time later with the help of a Pittsburgh Police K-9 unit.

He is charged with two felony counts of robbery as well as making terroristic threats, theft by unlawful taking and simple assault. He was unable to post bond and taken to the Allegheny County Jail.

A June 6 preliminary hearing is set in Judge Daniel Konieczka Jr.’s Shaler court.

The mid-May robbery brought county police and local FBI agents out in force, searching the area shortly afterward with drones and police dogs.
