Zachary Andrew Heckman, 30, of Carlisle was arrested in connection with the robbery of Belco Community Credit Union on Carlisle Road on Wednesday around 10:30 a.m.
After he fled on foot, the Pennsylvania State Police issued a Shelter In Place request for people in the area of Potato and Frytown roads in Upper Frankford Township, as Daily Voice previously reported.
Heckman was captured around 2 p.m., according to state police.
This was not his first brush with the law involving theft. A Daily Voice reader sent in an old police report of Heckman's 2018 arrest for other thefts.
At that time he was charged with a felony for Theft by Unlawful Taking and felony Receiving Stolen Property.
His charges were in connection with stealing $5,000 worth of items from a home on Kerrs Avenue between Oct. 2017 and Jan. 2018 at the same residence, according to the Carlisle police department.
In May of 2018 he was charged with a felony for theft for stealing 3 bottles of whiskey valued at $170.97 from PA Fine Wine and Spirits store located at 281 South Spring Garden Street in Carlisle, according to another Carlisle police report.
It appears he made a plea deal for a lesser charge and his case was transferred to the Common Court of Pleas in July 2018. The lower court's docket on the charge was inaccessible at the time of publishing this article.
He has also recently been charged with a misdemeanor for attempting to steal a car on June 9. A warrant was issued for this offense on June 22.
His preliminary hearing for that charge has been scheduled for Aug. 18 at 12 p.m.
