Fayetteville police arrest man accused of robbing PNC Bank

The North Carolina State Highway Patrol arrested Dennis Wayne Price Jr. at a traffic stop in Robeson County.

Fayetteville police said around 12:30 p.m., Price entered the PNC Bank at 454 Ramsey St. He went to the window, passed a teller a handwritten note demanding money, police said.

Police said the teller initially refused Price’s demand. He then demanded the money, and the teller put an undisclosed amount of cash into the envelope, police said.

No one was injured during the bank robbery, according to the police.

Price left the bank in a 2012 bluish gray 2012 Toyota Camry with North Carolina license plate CCD-2335, police said. Authorities believe Price was heading north on Ramsey Street.

Price stole the Camry from a woman who he was staying with, Fayetteville police said. According to police, he took the Camry without her permission and she filed the report.

Before the Tuesday afternoon bank robbery, Fayetteville police said Price had tried to rob the Lumbee Guaranty at 301 North Walnut St. in Fairmont by passing a note through the drive-thru lane. The teller refused Price’s demand and he left the scene, Fayetteville police said.

Detectives with the Fayetteville Police Department’s Robbery Unit are continuing to investigate the case.
