Police Pick Up Suspect In Theft From Comerica Bank Inside Kroger Store

COMMERCE TWP., Mich. (WWJ) - Police have arrested a suspect in connection with a robbery at a bank inside a grocery store in Commerce Township early in the week .

An anonymous tip to the Oakland County Sheriff's Department lead to the arrest of 29-year-old Kory McMacken at a home in Livonia.

McMachen was arraigned at 52-1 District Court for one count of larceny (a four-year felony) in a building rather than bank robbery charges  because there was no weapon used or threat involved.

A total of $4,000 was stolen but none of it has been recovered by detectives - he was given a $50,000 cash surety, no 10 percent bond.

Allegedly, McMachen distracted the bank clerk and reached over the counter -- grabbed the money and left the store.

McMachen's next court date is scheduled to be on July 19.
