SALT LAKE CITY — A man suspected of robbing several Utah banks was arrested Monday.

South Salt Lake Police Investigators, Salt Lake Police Investigators and the Unified Police S.W.A.T. team arrested 38-year-old Caprice Tyrone Martin around 3 a.m. Monday at an apartment located at 3970 South 700 West.

Officers said they obtained a search warrant for the apartment after receiving several tips about a recent string of bank robberies. They said when they searched the apartment they found a mask, clothing that may have been used in the robberies and a small distributable amount of marijuana.
