Dozens of officers fanned out across a Roswell community on Tuesday, searching for a robbery suspect they believed could be “armed and dangerous.
Channel 2′s Tom Regan was in the City of Mountain Park, where police searched for 27-year-old James Raborn. Police said that on Monday, Raborn robbed a bank in East Roswell and threatened employees.
“My husband and I were speculating he’s either gone or hiding in one of the homes,” said Dianne Peoples, a neighbor.

Police told Channel 2 Action News that Raborn passed a note demanding money and threatening that he had a gun, though he never showed one. Officers made it to the scene 10 minutes later and Raborn had already fled from the location.
License plate readers captured images of Raborn’s truck, which officers tracked to the Mountain Park area. Police tried to stop Raborn, but he took off and later crashed his truck and ran from the scene.
A woman who stayed inside the truck after the crash was identified as 29-year-old Emily Browning. Detectives determined that Browning was a participant in the robbery and she was charged with armed robbery.
