A man was arrested after he was accused of robbing a bank on Thursday.
Police say he went into the bank, threatened that he had a gun and got away with money just after 10 a.m.
He was caught with nearly $2,000 on him, just minutes after the bank robbery at the PNC Bank on Penn Avenue in Wilkinsburg, police said.

It only took 4 minutes to arrest the man, and the police chief told Channel 11, she believes that's a record time for her officers.
Officers on patrol got help from witnesses and were waiting for him, when he walked out of a beer distributor less than two blocks away.
Police said the 64-year-old suspect admitted to robbing a Dollar General store, right across the street from the bank, just last week.
