Authorities said the man fled the bank in a 2024 Chevrolet Camaro. Officers said he was pulled over after getting off I-95 in Branford, and he was taken into custody without incident.
The man faces charges including criminal attempt to commit robbery threatening with a firearm and breach of peace. He is being held on a $150,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.
The investigation remains ongoing.
