Michael P. Bellini, who was charged Thursday with the robberies of the Citibank branch located at 1211 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, on December 31, 2009, and January 6, 2010, was arrested Friday evening by officers from the Pottstown Police Department.
The Pottstown Police Department received an anonymous tip call that Bellini was staying in a motel in Pottstown, and they located him inside a room. Police took him into custody without incident.
Bellini is now in FBI custody.
The identification of Bellini, and the tip that led to his apprehension by the Pottstown Police Department, were the result of media coverage of the two bank robberies and of his fugitive status.
