NEWARK, Del. -- Delaware State Troopers say the suspect in a Newark bank robbery was taken into custody Wednesday after his car ran out of gas.

According to police, a man wearing a knit cap and sunglasses walked into the M&T Bank on Fox Hunt Drive Wednesday afternoon and demanded money from two bank tellers.

When the tellers gave him the money, police say he drove off.

Using a description of the man's vehicle from a witness, troopers say they found the suspect's car unoccupied on the side of North Dupont Highway at South Heald Street.

Police say when the suspect returned carrying a gas can, he was arrested. According to Delaware State Police, a search of the man's car turned up evidenced linking him to the robbery.

Police have identified the suspect as 47-year-old Rodney Morgan of Newark.
