David Aguilar Jr., a 45-year-old man, has been charged with the armed robbery of a Subway in Waterford Township, along with a bank heist in Oakland County, as reported by ClickOnDetroit. The Subway incident occurred on the evening of February 28 when Aguilar allegedly threatened a Subway employee by claiming to have a gun and demanding all the money from the register.
Following the Subway robbery, Aguilar reportedly left in a black Ford Taurus, which was later identified by law enforcement and linked to both the Subway and a prior Fifth Third bank robbery in Independence Township, and CBS Detroit details that after a wide broadcast of the suspect and vehicle information leading to a swift arrest the vehicle was stopped by an Oakland County Sheriff's deputy in Pontiac near Walton Boulevard and Joslyn, the charges for Aguilar have been laid out one count of armed robbery according to CBS Detroit.
A search by the authorities of Aguilar's vehicle and his house in Pontiac provided evidence connecting him to both the Subway robbery and another at Fifth Third Bank, with his arraignment taking place in the 51st District Court and is bound over to the Oakland County Circuit Court scheduled for March 19, revealed by FOX 2 Detroit.
Waterford Police Chief Scott Underwood credited the quick response of the Subway clerk and the concerted efforts of various law enforcement agencies for Aguilar's apprehension, stating, "The successful apprehension of this dangerous criminal is the direct result of swift action by the clerk at Subway who put into motion a coordinated effort involving Waterford Township Dispatchers, Uniformed Patrol Officers, Detectives and the Special Operations Unit, as well as Oakland County Sheriff's Deputies from Pontiac and Detectives from the OCSO Independence Township sub-station," as CBS Detroit reports; Aguilar's bond has been placed at $500,000 cash or surety.
