Now, initially, as police respond and they try to investigate, the really only major lead they can get is a security video that shows whoever they believe the suspect to be in not the best quality video of him standing kind of-- There's a, apparently, as I understand it, a church that's in the vicinity or right next to this credit union that was robbed, and he's holding a cell phone to his ear, and they believe this is their, their suspect.
And almost a month goes by, and on June 14th, 2019, police decide to apply for a geofence warrant.
