Aurora police and federal agents say they have tracked down their man in the Southlands Wells Fargo robbery, arresting 45-year-old Andrew Scott on Tuesday in connection with the May 29 heist at the branch in the busy shopping area. Investigators say the robber slipped a note across the counter demanding cash, then bolted north on foot, kicking off weeks of detective work that ultimately led to the bust.
In a post that opened with "We got him!" FBI Denver said Scott was identified and taken into custody in connection with the May 29 hold-up at the Wells Fargo branch at 23962 East Prospect Avenue. The post listed Aurora Police Department case number 26-110676 and described the suspect as a white male about 5'7"–5'9" and 160–170 pounds who was wearing black sunglasses when he passed a written demand for cash and fled north on foot.
Tipline and reward
According to Metro Denver Crime Stoppers, anyone with information can call 720-913-STOP (7867) or submit an anonymous tip online and may be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000. The organization notes that tipsters remain anonymous and that past tips have helped clear thousands of cases across the metro area.
Next steps and legal status
Authorities did not immediately release formal charging information, and the FBI announcement did not list charges, according to FBI Denver. Aurora police and federal investigators are expected to coordinate with prosecutors as the case moves forward, with additional details to be released through official channels as they become available.
