The fuzz nabbed the man suspected of robbing several banks in downtown San Francisco in late Marc and early April. Earl Lee Williams, 38, was arrested on April 15 in connection with the crimes. According to SFPD, "Police were conducting surveillance operations in the Central district where the robberies had been occurring. Based on surveillance photos obtained from the robberies, police saw Williams walking on Washington Street near Kearny, and arrested him without incident."

Williams is suspected in a March 25 robbery at First Bank at 550 Montgomery Street, a March 29 robbery of the East West Bank at 1066 Grant Avenue, and the Chase Bank, 1040 Grant Avenue, on April 6. Williams used a robbery note in all three incidents. Hopefully, he had a chance to spend the loot before being caught.
