Vacaville ATM Robbery Suspect Arrested

VACAVILLE (CBS13) - Police on Wednesday arrested a suspect in three robberies at a Wells Fargo Bank ATM in Vacaville over the past two weeks.

Eric Turk, 19, was taken into custody during an unrelated traffic stop on Arcadia Drive and Nut Tree Road. Turk, a passenger in the vehicle that was pulled over, is a Roseville resident but has lived in Vacaville in the past and has had numerous contacts with Vacaville police, the department said.

Turk is a suspect in three robberies that took place over the last two weeks at a Wells Fargo ATM located at 1919 Peabody Road. In all three cases, the victims were robbed shortly after withdrawing cash from the ATM by a suspect armed with a handgun.

Detectives are still investigating the possibility that Turk is responsible for other robberies in Vacaville.

A total of 30 robberies have taken place in Vacaville since Jan. 1. On Wednesday, four different arrests were made concerning those cases.

Anyone with information on these robberies is asked to call Detective Lechuga at (707) 449-5269 or the Vacaville Police Department at (707) 449-5200.
