Suspect In Cincinnati-Area Bank Robbery Captured In Butler Twp.

Authorities said a suspected Cincinnati-area bank robber was captured in Butler Township outside a motel on Miller Lane.

Investigators said Dennis Kroeger, 59, was arrested Wednesday hours after a bank robbery at the People’s Bank in Whitewater Township in Hamilton County.

According to deputies in Hamilton County, Kroeger threatened bank tellers with a bomb. They said no bomb was found.

Later that day, investigators said a Butler Township officer spotted a suspicious car at the Motel 6 on Miller Lane. Police said they ran the car’s license plates and discovered that there was a warrant out for the owner of the car.

Authorities said the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the tri-state area will look at Kroeger as a possible suspect in other unsolved bank robberies, where bomb threats were made.
