According to the Jordan News Agency, Petra, on January 28,
2018, a masked man broke into a local branch of a foreign bank in the Al-Wehdat
area, east of Amman, and robbed an amount of JD76,000 at gunpoint before fleeing
the scene.
Despite a massive manhunt and the use of CCTV footage,
police at the time were unable to identify the suspect.
In a statement on Monday, the PSD said a task force
investigating cold cases had recently reopened the case and used previously collected
evidence as well as new information that ultimately led to the suspect.
Shortly after that, police agents raided the whereabouts of
the suspect and arrested him. After interrogation, the suspect confessed that
he robbed the bank, the PSD said, adding that investigations were still ongoing
and that further legal action would follow.
