GARNER, N.C. — A Raleigh man who police say robbed a Garner bank on Tuesday was apprehended in Baltimore on Wednesday night.

Lemar Raymon Dasher, 31, was charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon and larceny of a motor vehicle. He was in custody in Maryland Thursday, awaiting extradition to North Carolina.

A man walked into the RBC Bank branch at 1027 U.S. Highway 70 in Garner, demanded money from a teller and fled the area with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.

Police said the robber used a stolen 2000 Dodge Caravan to make his getaway, and the minivan was recovered in Baltimore.

Dasher was convicted of robbing the same bank in 2008, police said.
