GREENSBORO, N.C. — A 27-year-old man is facing charges in connection to two bank robberies and a fire at a Greensboro business.
Jimmie Lee Benjamin Haney is facing charges for two counts of robbery with firearms or other dangerous weapons, obtaining property by false pretenses, and fugitive from justice. His bond has been set at $100,000.
Greensboro police identified Haney as the suspect and arrested him at a home on Lees Chapel Road Friday night.
Officers said Haney is believed to be connected to the following crimes:
- Family Dollar Fire on East Cone Boulevard
- Wells Fargo robbery on Pisgah Church Road
- Truist Bank robbery on North Elm Street
It all started when Haney had a warrant for his arrest.
Multiple officers were on the scene at Lees Chapel Road at 5:40 p.m. and immediately began attempting negotiations.
Haney surrendered after Greensboro police used a concussion grenade before he came out of the home peacefully around 9:40 p.m.
Lee’s Chapel Road between Yanceyville Road and White Chapel Way was temporarily closed in both directions.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Greensboro/Guilford Crime Stoppers at 336-373-1000.
