robbed. >> the taller one was lingering in the door. it was like i didn't want to make eye contact. >> a violent chase on gravel roads across two counties. >> i don't think any of us realized they were that eager to fire those weapons. >> officers shot. >> shots fired. >> it hit my arm. >> my thumb was just about blown off. >> i saw blood dripping from his

mouth. i had no idea if he would survive. >> can these bank robbers be stopped or is a killing spree just begun. and then two men dressed as construction workers terrorize bank employees and customers. >> they forced the teller to take them to the vault for the $120,000 in cash. >> with guns drawn, everyone in the bank knows these robbers mean business. >> he has the gun in his right hand. >> two years later they come back and do it it again, but this time it's a different story. >> knowing they were armed and it was three against one, they had concerns they were planning to come out shooting at me. >> it's the day before halloween

in the small town of maynard, iowa. population 513. it's business as usual at the 118-year-old maynard savings bank. inside the bank are five employees. two managers in their offices, one teller at the front counter and two tellers at their desks. there was also one customer and his young son standing next to him. assistant cashier sharyl, grandmother of five who has worked at the bank for 26 years, is helping the customers at the counter. she is the first to see a green sedan arrive outside. >> i looked out the window out of the corner of my eye and saw this green car pull up. i said to the customer look at these guys. and the customer turned and looked at them and the next words that were out of my mouth were i hope it's not -- >> the men shout profanities at

the employees and customer. they carry what appear to be ak-47 assault rifles. their faces are covered with bizarre masks. they purchase the $24 mask at a costume store. >> it was kind of like a grim reaper face with like a jes ter hat with the bell. s. it didn't seem real. >> the bank was built in 1895. it it currently serves 2,400 customers. in all the time it was in existence, it's never been robbed until now. the bank has several security systems, motion detectors and alarms. but those were always activated after the bank closes.

the only daytime security is two panic buttons located under the counter where the cashiers work. those buttons go directly to the fayette county sheriff. in the dozens of years since they have been installed, the buttons have never been used to alert police. assistant vice president of the bank glen da campbell is in her office, first door on the right. the robbers pass by her not realizing she's inside. >> i thought it was maybe a really dumb halloween prank. and i sat there quietly until i realized what was taking place. i don't believe they saw me in there or knew i was in will will. >> bank manager c.j. lensing's office is the next door on the right. lensing has worked at the bank for 26 years. 13 days earlier, lensing

celebrated the first of his first grandchild. >> i was on the phone at the time with our office manager. he told me to hang up the phone and she heard that. that's not something you typically hear on the other end of the line. he had an ak-47 so you tend to do what they ask you. >> when i first noticed out here was c.j. coming out of his office with one behind him. so i just quietly came to the doorway so that if they did look and saw me there they wouldn't be startled. >> cashier, a six-year employee of the bank, is at her desk behind the count er. she doesn't move. >> for that split second, you weren't sure it was really happening. but then you knew it was no joke, no prank. and you were almost frozen. >> you don't want to put anybody in jeopardy. they would have gotten upset and

started shooting. it's just money. it's something that can be replaced. lives can't be. >> one of the robbers orders sharyl to take all the money from the cash drawer and load it into a duffel bag. but she struggles to get the bag open. seeing that she's having problems with the the zipper, one of the robbers makes a move toward her just as she gets the bag to finally open. tellers are trained to move slowly, not to alert robbers or make them feel threatened. she carefully puts the money from her drawer into the bank. she then moves to another drawer and removes the cash from there as well. the robbers ask employees if there's money at the driveup window. the manager tells them yes and leads the thieves to those cash drawers. a gun pointed at his back. >>. i thought they'd probably know that every drive-up window

there's cash there, so i didn't want to try to fool them by saying no and they determine there was cash there and that could have made a bad situation worse. >> for the rest of the terrified employees, time stands still. >> we have a radio and it sits right behind me on a little table. and the day of the robbery when they were behind the counter, i couldn't tell you if that radio was on or off. it was like i couldn't hear. >> it was kind of like looking through a fish bowl or something is kind of what it felt like. >> the taller one walked in both vaults. i think their masks were so big and so hard to e see through that he probably really didn't check much out. because we did have extra currency in there that they didn't see. >> i had my eyes mostly on the shorter one that was getting the money from sheryl. the taller was one vs kind of lingering in. the doorway. i didn't want to make eye contact with him. you're trying to get.

as much information as you possibly can. dreptive, anything you can remember. you're trying to scan as much as you can. and then try to remember it. >> i thought they were toy guns. i thought they were plastic and i'm by no means a gun expert. i thought they were a tool to intimidate. but never thought they were real. coming up, bank employees have one chance to stop the robbery in progress. get to the security buttons without the thieves noticing. >> they would have seen me reach under there to trigger that. you don't know what they would have done.

two days before the heist at the maynard savings bank, some residents in this small town of 500 reported a strange man lurking outside the bank. it was a sunday, so the bank was

closed. the man peered in the windows in the front door. he walked around the bank and then he was gone. now two days later, the maynard community savings bank in rural iowa is the scene of a robbery in progress. two men wearing what appear to be halloween masks have employees held at gunpoint. some bank tellers are not sure if the ak-47s these men carry are really. most of them believe the guns are toys. though the weapons look sinister, neither man has pulled the trigger. it was originally developed by the soviet union in 1947 as a lethal assault weapon. in its automatic mode, it it it can fire 600 rounds per minute, more than 400 yards. there are 100 million of these weapons in existence. one of the robbers was able to easily purchase two of them even

in rural iowa. as the robbers move through the 2,400 square foot bank. the cashiers know there are panic buttons e beneath their registers. pushing the buttons would alert the fayette county sheriff, but if they are caught going for the alarms, it it could mean disaster. a fatal mistake if the robbers start firing. >> the only one that could have would have been sheryl, but she wasn't in the first window that she went to, there isn't one in there and e she really didn't have a chance. >> you don't want to put anybody in jeopardy. they would have seen me reach under there to trigger that. you don't know what they would have done. >> most modern banks have silent alarms that are triggered when all the money is emptied from a cash drawer. a signal to police that something is wrong.

that system doesn't exist at the 118-year-old bank. but one thing the bank always does in case of robbery is to have bills with recorded serial numbers in the bottom of each drawer. >> i just started putting the money in the bag and i made sure i put the fake money in there and we keep a copy of the actual bill with all the serial numbers on it and that's a way to identify our money. >> after the initial shouting when they walk in the door demanding money, the men now calmly speak to the employees giving them instructions on what to do. >> they were cordial to us. they didn't make us lie on the floor, lock us in the vault, put our heads down, none of that stuff that could have happened. i didn't feel like i was going to e get killed. >> the robbers made one more pass behind the teller's station. in their duffel bag they have over $1r5,000. they walk quickly through the lobby and out the front door. they have been in the bank for

nearly three minutes. all of it it caught on the bank security camera. >> they were content to leave with what they had in a matter of 10 seconds they were out of the bank. >> amazingly the one customer in the bank rushes to follow the robbers out the door. he wants to get the license plate of their car. according to protocol, after the robbery of a bank, employees are instructed to lock the doors. >> i was the one that grabbed my key to lock the door. the customer went to the door, out the door with me. i saw them drive by. they still had their masks on, so i knew it was them. i think i was shaking. i really literally think i was shaking. it was very frightening. it was very scary. >> once the door is locked and the bank is secure, manager c.j.

lensing quickly goes for a phone to call police. >> 911, what's the address of your emergency? >> i work for the maynard savings bank. we've just been held up. >> is the person there? >> no, they left. he were going westbound. we have a plate number. 181 yyw. >> and they are westbound? >> yes. >> really didn't hit me until after they were gone the bank was locked and then we were hearing the activity after that it kind of became real that they were dangerous. i wasn't frightened because at that point we were safe. we were locked in here. but i think it was just the reality that our bank that has never been robbed in the small town that we never would have expected to have that happen just happened. we were all pretty shaken afterwards. >> you could hardly catch your

breath. a weight was on your chest. all of us had a hard time writing down the license plate as they were yelling it back to us. our fingers were not working. >> we were safe, but it's like, wow, what just happened. coming up, with police notified, employees are left to wonder, would the two men who just terrorized them be caught or would they go down fighting? >> i don't think any of us realized that they were that eager to fire those weapons. in the nation, sometimes bad things happen. add brand new belongings from nationwide insurance and we'll replace stolen or destroyed items with brand-new versions. we put members first. join the nation. ♪ nationwide is on your side ♪

a the maynard savings bank in rural iowa, employees are recovering from the traumatic ordeal they have just gone through. two masked gunmen armed with automatic weapons entered the bank, held the people inside at gunpoint and stole more than $15,000 in cash. those who endured the heist are in shock from the experience. >> 11:10 that morning, it was

just another day. then five minutes later your whole world is changed dramatically. >> when police dispatchers checked the registration of the license plate, they get a hit. >> 10-4. it's registered o to a subject out of new hampton. >> jeremiah mumford is 24 years old. his accomplice is william clayton. today is clayton's 19th birthday. their vehicle is filled with weapons including two ak-47s which mumford legally purchased in iowa. >> green '96 ford. >> a 19 96 ford taurus is hardly the type of car that can outrun a police vehicle. it is far less powerful than engines in most law enforcement cars. but that doesn't stop clayton and mumford from trying to outrun the police.

they head north on gravel roads that chris cross this section of iowa. fayette county deputy sheriff joe miller picks up the chase as captured by his squad car dash cam. >> 60 miles an hour. >> i'm getting closer and closer and i heard something. sounded like a rocket in my car or something. we're traveling at a pretty good rate, 60 miles an hour on a gravel road. and i heard it again. something ain't right. >> the next moment miller realizes shots are being fired. >> shots fired, shots fired. >> i fell one when it it wen into the engine. . it shook my car. my temperature gauge is starting to go up on the car. oh boy, they got me, smoke started coming through the vents and my temperature gauge was hot and i had to stop. >> meanwhile police and fbi

agents have arrived at the maynard savings bank. they are interviewing the employees about what happened. general police protocol after a bank robbery regardless of jurisdiction is that each bank employee must give a statement separately. >> everyone is supposed to write down their own observations before discussing with others. >> this ensures that employees do not compare notes about what happened and are able to maintain their individual perspectives. >> the officers were here all afternoon. fbi was here. they were very good at keeping us informed as to what was happening after the suspects left the bank. >>. out on the back roads, the thieves are still on the run. department of transportation officer ben driscoll is near by. police chief dennis cane a 35-year veteran of law enforcement, joins driscoll in

the pursuit. >> i was coming up to highway 93 by zumer in. the police chief was coming out with his lights and sirens on. i let him make the corner. he made that corner and i was in behind him at that point in time. he's lead in the chase. >> at the next intersection, chief kain overshoots the corner. now driscoll is in the lead. mumford now unloads a barrage of gunfire at officer driscoll. >> shots fired! shots fired! >> it it sounded like a rock hit my car. i'm not close enough to them for that to be a rock. >> moments later a bullet slams through the center of driscoll's windshield just to the right of where his dash cam is pointing. >> it flew out my back window.

i got scrunched way down behind my dash board and slammed on my brakes and called out over the radio, shots fired. got two shots on my vehicle. >>. all of a sudden i see ben's squad car. it was weaving in and out on the gravel like it was out of control. finally i came to the right-hand side as i was passing i looked at the back windshield. i was thinking could a rock do that. >> officer passes me and i shake to my head don't go. takes me a little while to ge my nerve back up, by can't let another officer go into a gunfight without backup. >> the thieves had two ak-47 rifl rifles. they also have a 40 caliber handgun and a .22 caliber.

they use large drums that hold between 75 and 100 rounds of ammunition. the next series of gunshots strikes with far more accuracy. >> the first one was in the neck. i can still remember. it it slammed me against the seat and i started seeing all these floating glass fragments in slow motion. everything was slow motion. i could hear these hard thungs. it it must have been the bullets hitting the car. i notice that my thumb was just about blown off. >>. as i'm getting closer to him, i see his vehicle come to a stop. he bails out of the car and then i see him with his left hand holding his neck and there's blood all over. i slam on my brakes and call on the radio an officer has been hit. >> ben pulled up and came running up. he said my right side was

covered with blood. >> blood dripping from his mouth, bubbling. i had no idea if he would survive. i didn't know. i had never seen anything like that before. >> driscoll applies intense pressure to kain's through and through shoulder wound. >> i don't remember putting all my body weight on him, but i remember holding tight. i was presing from the front on the arm and from the back as hard az could to stop the blood flow. if you can stop the blood flow, it it will circulate. his mind was still working. he wasn't going into shock. i just confirmed that we were doing the right thing, applying the rsh, having him sit down and relax and wait. >> you all right? >> yeah? >> i talked to god and i just said don't let this be my last time. give me the strength to pull through it. >> here's the deal. we got one, one through the neck, one through the shoulder. exit wound back here. >> one to the neck, one to the

shoulder. >> and one through the hand, okay? >>. i believe that i used all of my adrenaline on dennis kain. i wasn't stressed emotionally. i poured all that adrenaline into trying to save his life. after the ambulance left, i call ed my wife. she said when are you coming home. i said as soon as i can get a ride. coming up, the end of the line. >> there's no doubt in my mind this is going to turn bad for us or them or both. to another new stylist. it was a total embarrassment. and not the kind of attention i wanted. so i had a serious talk with my dermatologist about my treatment options. this time, she prescribed humira-adalimumab. humira helps to clear the surface of my skin by actually working inside my body. in clinical trials, most adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin clearance. and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis.

serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. make the most of every moment. ask your dermatologist about humira, today. clearer skin is possible.

after being questioned for hours by police, employees at the maynard community savings bank who suffered through a traumatic bank robbery prepare o to go home. but they don't want to leave alone. >> every time our door would open, we'd have a little squeak in the door. you would not believe how many heads would turn towards the door every time that door opened. >> that night nobody really wanted to leave the bank because we felt secure here. you go outside of the bank and then you just feel vulnerable to everything. and we just kind of all walked out to our cars together and hurried home because then you

feel safe again. >> dozens of miles away, the two robbers, 24-year-old jeremiah mumford and 19-year-old william clayton continue to leave members of law enforcement on a high speed chase never slowing down. the two heavily armed bank robbers have unleashed a lot of gunfire against police. >> i got more cops coming. i'm just going to stay with them. so i'm staying with them. the pirs round came through my windshield. through the windshield, through the dash, splintered, hit my arm and i just got way down below the steering wheel. i'm driving and i'm yelling on the radio, shots fired, shots fired. i've been hit. he must got a rifle, man. >> the wound goes through his right arm, but he's still in pursuit. >> i have my rifle out between

the door. i held the door open with my knee and chasing driving down the gravel road wait iing for a shot to return fire. >> he shoots four times but miss. he turns into the small town of fredricka, population 183. >> i pull into fredricka, and i wasn't feeling good. and a deputy pulls up beside me and i told him to keep going. i said to myself i'm not dying in fredricka. i'm not dying in fredricka. >> he follows until the thieves bail out of their car into the woods. >> who got shot. i said, that's me. he tears my shirt up and says it's a through and through, you're going to the hospital. >> police surround a two-square mile section of the woods. there are several buildings and houses and cabins that must be searched. >> it was tough to clear. you kept wanting to say, there

they are in custody. they got out. >> we were so close to that community in fredricka. we were so concerned that these folks would get into the folks where somebody is occupying and take them hostage and hurt someone. >> water loo sharp shooters are positioned on the southwest corner. they intensely scan the woods. they are waiting for the two bank robbers to try to flee the woods and make an escape. >> something caught my attention off to the left of us. there was two fingers. kind of hunched down out of the ditch and then they turned and headed away from us. >> as the two men wait to make a move, a photographer takes a picture that shows the sharp shooters in the foreground and a police vehicle about a quarter

mile away. it it seems that everyone is ready for a fight. >>. shot at a bunch of officers, already hit two of them. there's no doubt in my mind this is going to turn bad for either us or them or both. we made up our minds we were in a shootout. >> overhead a police airplane captures these final moments on video using technology that measures heat from a person's body. the camera can actually see in the dark and it shows the moment that mumford and clayton are finally arrested. >> we approached about this far and we started giving them orders, put your hands up, don't move. as soon as the first words were out, their hands came straight up. >> it was quiet and came across we have them apprehended and everybody was, yes, for two medicines people were like, they got them? they were asking each other, are you sure? you hear cheering and

handshaking. ye yeah, they got him. then it was like, alive? they are all alive, no one is hurt. thank god. >> mumford and clayton are taken to the sheriffs station for questioning. over two hours, each of the men confesses to much of what went on that day including why they chose to rob the maynard community bank. >> why were you at the bank in may yord? >> do you know of any police officers in maynard? >> no. makes sense to e me. >> but there's a lot of small towns in iowa. >> far enough away from my home. and you can look up the statistics, financially, for any bank. maynard savings to the very, very successful bank considering the economic hardship. >> okay. >> so all of the pieces put together seemed like the logical choice. i had an ak-47 started with

approximate approximately 500 rounds. >> if it wasn't for me, if jeremiah had probably he would have probably shot instead of getting arrested. i don't know. it's just the way he is, i guess. >> while in custody mumford even draws a map of the bank to show vergs how they pulled off the heist. as he's being led to jail, mumford tells reporters exactly how he feels about what he's done. >> do you admit to robbing the bank in maynard? >> it appears so. >> do you feel bad for what you did? >> no. >> for those who survived this dangerous ordeal, especially the people in the maynard savings bank, it's a memory that will not soon go away. >> we felt violated. we felt very violated. this is our space. you know, we were invaded by

nasty people. this is our home. we're here probably as many hours as we are with our families. coming up, two thieves dressed as construction workers terrorize a bank in a hostile takeover robbery. >> when we woke up, just planning to go to the bank. somebody has a gun on them. i wake up in the morning with no back pain. i can adjust it if i need to...if my back's a little more sore. and by the time i get up in the morning, i feel great! if you have back pain, toss and turn at night or wake up tired with no energy, the sleep number bed could be your solution.

it's halloween, october 31st, 2007, in a chicago suburb of p. alo -- palos heights. the suburb is a hot bed of bank robberies. >> within a four-year period, we had 13 bank robberies which is unheard of for a town our size. there's only about 15,000 people that live in town. >> it still was considered rare when the bank robberies started. the fact that they were armed robberies i think was shocked to a the lot of people that lived here that gun. s and weapons were involved. these robberies began to be more than just one or two happenings. it it frightens people. >> it started feeling a joke. you get more than chicago do.

they knew one was coming and for awhile there, there was another one right around the corner. >> the tcf bank at ridgeland avenue doesn't look like the other commercial buildings at this busy intersection. it's a two-story brick structure with columns in front. in a span of four years, this bank has been robbed multiple times and now it's happening again. two men wearing traffic vests and hard hats enter. they look like instruction workers topped many to deposit a check. but these men are not here for banking business. the guns they carry make that obvious. >> traffic safety vests that road crews would wear. that was new to us. it it looked like they were coming from a construction site. >> they begin a takeover-style bank robbery, the most dangerous kind of heist.

some bank robberies have a thief handing a note to a teller demanding money implying they have a weapon or a bomb. but takeover robbery has criminals demanding that everyone get on the ground. the robbers usually have gun. s and sometimes fire them. the two men want ed o intimidat bank employees and patrons. everyone is ordered to the floor. so far their heist is going as planned. >> they forced everyone to get down on the ground except the teller that they were holding the gun to. they demanded that they be take on en to the back. >> they have them empty money into a sack. >>. the gentleman in vest takes control of the rest of the employees and the workers and the one customer there. the other gentleman goes directly to the vault. he's ordering the manager there

to the vault. you see here this is where he pushes her to the ground. he checks with the customer that's back here and gets him on the ground. you'll see him walk another employee and force her to the ground. >> the only chance employees have to stop the robbery in progress is to sound a silent alarm. each tler station has a button underneath its table. and the banks other desks have remote control with panic buttons as well. but no bank employee has the chance to push them. >> when you're ordered like that, you have a gun there, they are thinking about their own safety. they did what they were told. >> as quickly as they arrive, the thieves head for the exit and leave. once the employees feel safe, they push the alarm button. police are notified immediately.

according to police, several employees are crying making it difficult for authorities to get. any solid information. for these workers that average day at the office has turned into a trauma they will never forget. >> somebody comes in like that, pulls a gun, demanding money and they are concerned, am i going to see my husband or wife again. am i going to see my children again? >> these robberies are become. ing more common. it's because so many people have cell phones that make it it easy for anyone caught up in a robbery to call police. to make sure no one gets that chance, robbers are relying on the takeover style of robbery more and more often. witnesses report that the robbers are two black men driving a white pickup truck. the employees say the men knew exactly what they were doing. they get away with over $215,000 in cash, a huge sum for any bank robbery. >> this is all done within two

minutes. by the time they walk in door until they walk out of the bank, just under two minutes. so this has been planned for awhile. >> but there's one thing that the thieves don't anticipate. a device called a dye pack is mixed in with the cash taken from the vault. a dye pack is usually found at bottom of a cash drawer. it looks like money and weighs the same. bank robbers in a hurry usually don't notice they are taking it. >> once it it goes. out the general vicinity, you could set it up where if it's outside of the bank for a certain number of seconds or certain number of feet beyond the bank doors, it will mark any money r or even the suspects. it it will char the money. a lot of smoke, a the lot of dye that goes off. >> the thieves are about to find out what a dye pack can do. as they pull out on to ridgeland avenue, the pack explodes inside their pickup truck.

the truck swerves into oncoming traffic. pink smoke billows out the windows. >> a older woman said she was cut off by a white pickup truck. she wasn't able to help us with the description because she couldn't see inside there was so much dust coming from the dye pack. >> despite the smoke and the explosion of dye in the car, the thieves manage to escape. >> i don't know how they drove after it. when you're panicking and know there's going to be police coming after you, you do what you need to do. e we still don't know what they did with vehicle. they would not be able to be driving around in that car without it being noticeable. >> after that, the robbers are gone. for two years detectives try in vain to hunt them down. >> bank put a reward out. the fbi also put a reward out. whether the disguises were good enough they weren't recognized

or if people chose not to assist us, we weren't able to get any dna evidence from the scene so it was hard to put a case together. >> investigators hope that some of the currency marked with red dye will turn turn up, but no m money is found. without the money or leads, the case grows cold. coming up -- just when detectives think the thieves have gotten away with robbery, they strike again. and once again, they hit the same bank. >> i pulled my vehicle like this and angled it so i had a little shielding in case they came out shooting. there's a new form of innovation taking shape.

welcome to what's next. comcastnbcuniversal. more than two years after thieves dressed as construction workers robbed the tcf paint in palos heights, illinois, it seems the case has grown cold. detectives are trying to track down the more than $200,000 the

men made off with in the heist. they have learned one of the suspect's names but have made no arrests. >> the fbi had worked with an informant that gave us some information that identified one of the offenders that may be responsible for the bank robbery. >> wali ali lives in chicago. despite knowing his name and last known address, police have been unable to locate him. more than two years later, dave delaney is promoted from detective to chief deputy. which means his days investigating the halloween bank robbery in 2007 are about to come to an end. >> it could be very frustrating when you are working on a case, especially when it's something that high profile. once i knew i was getting promoted and not going to be in the office anymore it really made me want to try and solve that. we had a lot of success with clearing these bank robberies and for two years, the biggest dollar amount that i've worked with in a bank robbery, i wasn't able to do it. >> but these bank robbers are going to give delaney and the

rest of the palos heights police department another chance. three thieves approach the same tcf bank with their guns concealed. instead of construction worker uniforms, they now wear hooded sweatshirts and ski masks. armed with a shotgun and two handguns, they enter the same door and again threaten the lives of employees and patrons. one man takes a teller to the vault while the other two stand guard. >> you can see them here. he's going to be entering the vault with the bank employee. and it turns out to be the same offender. february was rather cold. they are wearing winter clothes. they didn't draw a lot of attention to themselves when they went in. >> this time they brought a third robber with them. a third suspect. he had a shotgun with him and two of them were carrying handguns. >> this is one of the offenders.

he's wearing the ski mask. and he's just making sure that everybody that he has laying on the ground here are staying and doing what he's told them to do. just waiting for his accomplice to come out of the vault. >> the sergeant adam nege is nearing the end of his shift. a manager of the bank is in the parking lot and sees the men enter the building. >> he believed that this was going to result in a robbery. he phoned the police while they are in the bank. >> there's a robbery at tcf bank. >> the witness was continuing to give information. started out with they were still in the bank. >> three black males, tall. they have ski masks on. >> dispatch sends all available officers to the scene. meanwhile, the thieves point their guns at tellers and order them to the vault where they load up a bag with over $100,000. this time, they make sure not to

take a dye pack. >> by the time the three men left the bank, the police were already on their way to the scene. >> as we were getting closer to the scene, as i passed through the stop light right up here, they started to say that they had exited the bank. >> looks like they just exited. gray four-door full-size truck. >> as i approached about where we are now, the witness was saying that they had left. they went northbound on ridgeland. >> but nege does not go unnoticed. >> they spluft saw me pull a u-turn. as i pulled the u-turn they turned into the street i'm going to turn into now. i knew there were only two exits back on to ridgeland. s a was following their truck, i radioed to my backup to close those two exits so they'd be trapped in the subdivision. >> nege follows them into a cul-de-sac where he knows there's no way out. he has them cornered but he also has created a dangerous situation. >> if i'm at 6:00, they were at 12:00 and their car was right between those two trees. so i could see them and they

could see me. they'd stopped at this point. i was by myself but i knew that the time had come that they were going to have to make a decision what they were going to do. they began pulling around towards me. i thought they were going to go towards me. i pulled like this to block their way out and that's when they pulled into the driveway here. when i pulled into the driveway, they pulled in like they were going to pull into the center garage door. i pulled out angled so i had a little shielding in case they came out shooting. >> although more police are on the way, nege realizes he's in a real predicament. for the moment, the robbers have a distinct advantage with more men and more firepower. >> i was here approximately 30 seconds by myself. during those 30 seconds i was giving commands. they weren't paying attention to what i was saying. they weren't complying. so i had some concerns if the three of them were having a conversation about what to do next. knog they were armed and knowing it was three against one, i had concerns they were planning to come out shooting at me.

>> as more officers arrive, the suspects are outnumbered. there's nowhere for them to run. and no chance of winning a gunfight. nege orders them out of the truck. >> put your hands out. we bring them out one at a time starting with the driver so they no longer control the vehicle. give them commands to where they are lying prone. then we'll start with the second person and so on. >> gabe delaney, the detective who hunted these men for more than two years has the pleasure of putting handcuffs on the men he thought he would never catch. >> as i was walking towards them, i noticed he looked like the offender from the halloween 2007 bank robbery. so as i knelt down, i asked, are you wali ali and he said, yes, i am. i said i've been looking for you for 2 1/2 years. and placed the handcuffs on him. i was able to walk him back to a skwaurd car then. felt good know he was finally in custody.
